Post by: flipnbird on September 10, 2008, 10:07:50 AM
Just out of curriosity,, does anyone know where to get new engine bay vac lines?? ya know , the kinda platic ones. The one to my FPR went south ( i used reg vac hose for now) and i thought about replacing them all (at least some) with new ones.

Thanks, Joe

When they break I just replace them with rubber line from the parts store. Works the same ;)

They use them from 3/32 to 5/8,The smaller ones are used behind the dash and the transmission,and they come in blue,red black and green.
