I am need of the 1/2 diameter and 3/16 diameter for vacuum, trying to replace 40 year old lines in my engine compartment.
Any good sources out there, cip1 has the 1/2" but not the smaller one. Anyone ? Thanks in advance. Ted |

be careful with the cloth braided hose. It is not rated for ethanol, and you have to check them every season for cracks now. degrades really fast.
