Technical Manifold to Servo Vac line

[allanhelen]

Just a quick question,

Does anyone know the internal diameter of the vac line that runs from the Manifold to the servo? Normally i would measure it myself but am not near the car at the moment and need to get one on order ASAP as the one on the Turbo has collapsed

Is that an original one or a different replacement? Ive found oil pipe to be a good replacement.

It is not the origional one,

I was just hoping if might be the same size as the braided line i've got comming for the oil breathers (19mm iirc) as i've ordered a bit more of this than i needed, if it is i can use that and just get hold of and extra couple of hose ends

just my luck it won't be though

IIRC its about 12mm ID. I had to replace the really hard plastic stuff on mine and I couldn't so I used silicon vacuum hose with an 8mm ID and its stretched over the two ends (manifold and servo) quite well. I tried to get some 10mm ID silicon vac hose, but not easy stuff to source

Edit: actually its about 12mm ID at the ends, but the main ID along its length is about 10mm

Edit again: just tried to find my old vac pipe to measure, but can't find it now, but i have measured the silicon vac pipe and its 8mm id with 2mm wall. Its bloody tight getting it on the manifold end though, 10mm vac pipe would be just right.
