Hard Plastic Vacuum Lines
I have a co-worker who just purchased an 86 coupe that has been stored since 1991. He's in the process of replacing hoses, belts. vacuum lines, fluids etc, etc.
Well he just told me that he broke a couple of the hard vac. lines and was asking me if there is a replacement available?
I don't know of any so I figured the C4 crowd just might know !
So, anyone have an idea? I told him to just make up the break with a piece of rubber hose like i used to do when i had my 87 and 91

Unless it is a show car just replace them with regular vacuum hose and hose "t"s.
FYI The colder the ambiant temperature gets while working on these older cars the more plastic breaks when you mess with it.

Most of the auto parts houses (Pep Boys, NAPA, Advanced, etc.) carry a full line of vacuum hoses and fittings. Tell your friend to take the broken part over to his local parts store and they should be able to fix him right up.
