HVAC controls vacuum hose repair
Is it possible to find vacuum hose for the HVAC actuators? Several of mine are chewed up near the control unit and I'd like to repair them if possible without taking the entire system apart. Any advice would be appreciated. Pics below of what I'm looking at.

Just take a piece in and match it up or sleave over it would be the easyest.

I would start with your local parts store just find something that it fits tight in and go deep. I had to do it on my little vacuum lines on the engine when the little bastards did it to me. Looks about the same size cheap and easy fix. Cut them on a angle and a bit of lube just don't get it in the little hose.

Update: I finished my project today and everything seems to be working again. I used 3/32 vacuum hose that I got from Advance Auto Parts. This size slipped over the existing hose and seemed to seal up well. I used some soapy water to help slip the new hose over the existing lines. The biggest challenge was replacing the "T" connection on the vacuum from the engine (the black hose). I went to my local Ace Hardware and they had a Hillman 3/32 "T" connector for $1.20. After all was said and done everything worked when I tested it out.
