I have come up with a worry free way to eliminate broken and cracked vacuum lines from the vacuum reservoirs inside the fender to the solenoids on the strut tower. Use 5/16 brake tubing, cut, bend, and reuse the rubber fittings to connect to the solenoids. Here is a photo of what they look like.

Good deal. Brake line is cheap and easy to bend. How did you figure out that it would work?

@92fiveohT5 Good work!

I'm happy I get to throw those in the trash and tie the connectors up out of the way.

The inside diameter of the brake tubing is about the same as the factory plastic tubing and rubber vacuum hose.

Here are some photos of the ones on my car for A/C, the first set is for cars without A/C. I originally said 5/16, which they are not, they are 3/16 brake tubing. Sorry for the misinformation.

I'll bet you could sell those on Ebay. Cool idea and you don't have to worry about the hoses cracking or breaking off.

I can't wait to do the lines that go to the valves and tree on the intake.

Fab up a set minus the ends and I'd be interested in paying you for it. Save myself the work
