    Engine Bay - Vacuum Hosing

    Hi I am in the process of accumulating the bits to get vin 1780 back on the road.

    Currently working on the engine bay and will be replacing all the hosing in this area.

    I would be grateful for some information on the diameters of the vacuum hosing I will require.

    Thank you in advance.

    It's standard 5/32 ID vacuum hosing if I recall.

    Hervey's kit is pretty simple to install. The silicon hoses attract alot of dust fairly quickly, but work well.

    Cheers Andy

    I live in Northern Ireland and need it sooner rather than later so going to purchase a length of the hosing and just cut it to size

    The delivery times from the States to NI are shocking its taking a couple of weeks to get items I have purchased.

    There are a few different diameters required (you can see that right in the pic above) but unfortunately I don't know the measurements.
