There are several hose sizes and the solution suggested by 69 vette is a good one if you want to swap all hoses or want to keep some spares. Another solution for the one or 2 hose replacement is to measure the hose id and go to lowes, home depot, autozone, etc. and buy a couple of feet of that size.

I just take the hoses in hand down to the local auto parts store and get me a length or two. Theres not that much vacuum too worry about getting the "correct" ones.

Are you looking to replace the headlight vacuum hoses or the hoses on the engine? If your looking to replace the headlight vacuum hoses the you can by them in a kit like I just did http://www.zip-products.com/Zip/prod...8F7950CA24DE82 or if it's engine vacuum hoses then do as the others have stated above and take them to your local auto parts store and have them matched up for you.

I got the vacuum hose kit from Corvette Central or Zip. They fit perfectly and are the correct length. Plus they have the correct color stripe on them.
I wouldn't mess with going to the FLAPS to get hoses.
