Default Vacuum hose change.

Hi,

Im about to change my vacuum hoses in my 76.
I am just wondering if i need to remove the dash to be able to change the hoses going to the head light switch or if there is a way to do it from under without taking it all apart?

Cheers

You may not have to remove the dash, but you are going to have to have space to get to the light switch.

Do the hoses to the light switch need to be replaced? If they are not leaking, I believe I could learn to live with them.

Dont need to change them, just got them in my kit so i though i would change it all!
I guess i could just change the one going from the override to the relays...

Getting in there to replace them is not worth the headache if they are not leaking!
