Anyone have good recommendations for a "kit" vacuum hose replacement? I found a thread with the individual parts list, is that a better route?
Also checked out Hose Techniques.

I have seen "kits" on Ebay priced at around $100. I have always wondered why they were so expensive. Its just bulk silicon hose in a few different diameters. They also mention in the Ebay ad that it will replace your fuel hoses. Is this correct? Does anyone know? I wouldn't think that the hoses would be the same.

I've used this silicon hose for vacuum hose and it is heavy-walled enough to work. I tried it for fuel supply hose on my carberuated motorcycle, in a no-pressure application, and I found that fuel makes it slippery and it was difficult to keep it on the hose barb fittlings. I replaced it with proper fuel line.
I would NOT, in any way, consider it for fuel injected applications, which have substantial pressure.
