YF you have to pay $$$$hipping charges buy the vacuum hoses locally.
Measure all the existing hoses and the hole diameters.
Buy the hoses off the reel from the local parts store.
Replace the noses one-at-a-time to prevent wrong connections.

"Liquid Electrical Tape" comes in different colors, adheres to rubber hose and is weather resistant.
Right now...the question is "who has a kit in stock"?
By th way...what would the shipping cost be to Perth from the U.S. for a vacuum hose kit?

Bought mine from Dr.Rebuild a couple years ago. Not clear if there still operating. I've heard conflicting info on this. And being in Oz. were very accustomed to being bent over for extremely slow shipping.
Is my vette stock?? HAHA

it may be slow shipping, but it lasts such a long time. vac hoses. first, cut a little bit off of each hose that has more than 1/4 inch to spare. a lot of the leakage is the hose ends aren't real tight anymore.

I've bought both Dr Rebuild and Zip vacuum hose sets. I think several of the Corvette vendors sell hose sets, including Wilcox. The color stripe definition on the Rebuild hose looks better than the Zip hoses. Dr Rebuiild has been closed for over a year....maybe will open soon? Rebuild's order form is a hassle to fill out.

When I replaced all the vacuum hoses in my 72, this is the kit I used. Made in the USA.
