Vacuum Hoses

[Quickstop [UK]]

I did a search but not a lot came up that I could make use of.

Any tips on how to install new hoses? I have 10m of 3.5mm diameter (internal!) braided vacuum hose to replace all the old stuff on my truck.

Should I also use hose clamps?

Anyone got some good tips for this?

Any and all appreciated as always = aaaaaa!

cheers,

Mark

Don't forget to replace all of those one way valve things. I found that thet get old too.

Use clamsp/clips/zip ties on anything that sees boost, ie any connection after a check valve is fine to be left unclamped.

Re: Vacuum Hoses

I am in the UK, but american car parts are at a premium here which is very annoying

I have ordered a Vacuum/ Pressure testing kit for the car and that was £60 = $90. What sort of price is it in the US?

I am moving to Dubai where petrol is cheap and US cars are common and i can get spares easily!
