Thanks. There is a better discussion on E90 post, and I decided on a 7/32 ball bearing (free from a bike shop:w00t

.

They also say a BB is the perfect size as well.

or a golf tee

rocketpop · 05-10-2008, 07:36 PM

yeah but with a goft tee you can not reconnect the hose and you also do not need to put a cap on the connector.

0002s · 05-10-2008, 07:39 PM

and if you don't cap it?

Just use a BB or Ball bearing unplug slip it in the hose, they plug it back in and let the baby growll......

I've changed my recommendation (and the setup on my 335) from golf tee to a 3/4" M8 stainless steel screw, around 50c from the hardware store.

The SS screw won't rust and won't break (my cheap golf tee broke) - and can easily be screwed in and out. I'm curious for those who jammed the ball bearing inside the vacuum line, are you able to remove it?

fold the hose, and zip tie the crease. easy, and nothing to break.
