What Are People Using For Boost/Vac Lines??

Post by Greddy-Matt »

Hi Guys n Girls
Is anyone running either reinforced or hard pipe boost/vac lines?
I want to get some, I don't want to run samco lines again as they go a bit soft and sometimes collapse under vacume etc.

Any ideas where I can find some?? T'interweb is giving all the usual suspects Samco/Viper etc but nothing really suitable.


Looking for 4mm 6mm and 8mm

Cheers

Matt

not sure what the fittings your trying to attach to are but could try pneumatic hose, something along these lines;
