Hello,

Was after some info on the vac line from the modulator to the manifold.
I do not have the standard steel tube and short hose ends, so I am going to run new vacuum hose.
I am in need of the size of the hose. The modulator looks to me like 5mm I.d.

Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Thanks Dan

I believe that the tube that they used was just 3/16" bundy tube, the same as brake line.

 

Go to a brake place & get a metre of it & bend it to suit. Use a short piece of rubber hose to connect to the fittings at each end.

I'm pretty sure that Terry is right on the 3/16" bundy tube, obviously make sure not to kink the vacuum hose around the corners ect. I've had brand new vacuum hose with a tiny hole in it where they put labels on, so i check for that too now, saves you the headache of finding the vacuum leak.
