Vacuum source and hose diameter needed
I have a Vacuum gauge that I am going to install. After doing a lot of research, it appears that the best point of a good vac source is the brake booster vac feed line. No worries there. Easy to get to. Easy to create a vac *block* with 2 barb fittings into a tee with a reducer to fit the vac line.
Here is my question. What is the inner diameter of the vac booster hose? Some say 5/8, some say 1/2 inch. Just want to make sure that I get the correct inner diameter to insure a non-restricted flow like before the line is cut.
I have searched everywhere. Does any one know? Or is there a company that already makes a *block* for this connection, OR is there a batter tap for the vac attachment?
Thank you all, my friends!

HI
Just had a look , 1/2" inner .
There is a small vac pipe coming off the rear of the intake , it does have a vac line connected to it which serves the car vac supply .
The large hose on the left is the other end of the booster hose
Might want to consider it mate , yeah not as easy to get to .
