3.5mm Vacuum hose

PermanentCraving · 06-15-2015, 10:40 PM

Does anyone know where I can source about 4m of 3.5mmID vacuum hose? I feel like I have searched everywhere and I'm about to resort to ordering it from overseas and waiting a couple of weeks for it to get here..

Stupid question, but have you tried SuperCheap/Repco etc?

haha Supercheap, Repco and Autobarn are the first places I tried. I don't blame you for asking though.

3mm and 4mm are in abundant supply, is it possible to use either of these? I am just worried that it will be too big or too small and just either pop off or leak.

If you are within the auto industry, best chances are to try auto suppliers like Wurth/Bursons etc

Shipping only took a week so was all good.

I ended up using 4mm, no dramas at all, thanks for that! No more boost leak!

I had the same question as you a few months ago when I also went to buy some 3.5mm vac line!!!

I'm boosting near 20 psi and the 4mm hose has held out just fine

I bought mine from Verocious Motorsports. The part prices were great but the shipping was excessive. I did mine as part of my preventative maintenance. They have 3.5mm.
