You can use normal silicon pipe, but it doesnt last that long (couple of years at most).

You need two sizes, but cant remember for def what size. Think its 4mm and 6mm.

Fraid I can\'t be of any help - they were on the car when i bought it, sorry.

are they just vac lines - and nothing else ??

or do they carry oil / petrol / coolant ??

i know that you dont know what they are - but you may beable to point me in the right direction !

They will make you anything you want - they only do it in big lengths if its a special order but i\'m sure someone else will take the extra off your hands

If I remember right they take around 4 weeks to make special orders.

Sorry - just to add it is 4mm and 6mm you need.

Need any help just pm and i\'ll give you a call. I just done a complete vac replacement a few weeks ago!

Try Clive at Shy bud. im sure he can get silicone vac pipe. Be warned tho. any plastic sh1t will be brittle as sin and may brake. mine did.

sorry, I think i put the wrong company down,

I can\'t remember the other ones name but I just used Yell.com - silicon tubing manufacturers and phoined them - they\'re normally happy to do you anything you want.

Just try a few and compare prices.

thanks guys !

i didnt think of the yellow pages to be honest

i suppose thats another summer project on the way

just stuggling to get green ones though

[grinder]

well i got a quote for green ones - and im looking at £75 for 5m worth

not impressed with that

but on the other hand he did send me an email :

In principle I agree, thats how it normally is and/or should be.
Are these any good? (they are over-runs)

White 4mm ID x 13mm OD
8m for £10 + £2.50 P&P + VAT

Translucent 6mm ID x 12mm OD
5m for £7.50 + £2.50 P&P + VAT

Black 4mm ID x 10mm OD
2m ONLY for £5.00 + £2.50 P&P + VAT

Translucent 5mm ID x 12mm OD
5m for £7.00 + £2.50 P&P + VAT

Can\'t remember the companies name but I got quoted £200 total for translucent red.....

I remember there would\'ve been enough for 2 cars or 3 at a push if you were careful.

That works out at maybe around £80 each for the lot.

Make sure you set aside a budget for solenoids etc as your guaranteed to break at least one!

I found them very resonable, I just order 3mx25mm bore size for 40 quid, they have various sizes on the site.

Tell them Lee Edmondosn sent you form the mazda group:)

thanks for the info guys !!

i have been speaking to a company and they are now gonna try and get into the engine bay mod stuff !

they are just starting a new prototype doing vac pipes and coolant pipes that are flip paint coloured - they are trying to start with green and bronze flip - so that should be cool

i can get the pipes from anywhere really - its just no one does green
