Title: Best place to get vac hose from?
Post by: Jim_rx7 on April 06, 2007, 11:52:53 PM
Looking to replace all my vac hoses, but curious as to where to get some from? I\'ve got some cheap stuff from halfords... I used it for my BOV, but it\'s nasty and don\'t want to use it anywhere else on the car!!.... lol.


thanks in advance.

what you was looking at there were coolant hoses.

You need vacuum hoses - gary also sells these.. been thinking about doing this job myself one day.
