Default Broke PCV plastic hose on intake install..??

I broke the plastic hose that goes down the passengers side valve cover...the part that goes into the drivers side valve cover is fine.....is it possible or even wise to try and make something or just order one from GM? The boot is also torn where it connects the "Y" to the drivers side hose.....any help is appreciated....

I was particular about mine so I ordered it from GM, the complete assembly with PCV is about 100 depending on which version you have. You can repalce it with rubber fuel line hose and a T also - do a search - there's a write up on here from someone who did it that way.

yea...I think I'll just go with the GM one....it is so brittle that I dont want to take a chance of it breaking somewhere else when I put this all back in.

i replaced mine with rubber hose. i had 2 get 2 different sizes. they were very short pieces so they didn't even charge me.

i went to a gm dealer first and they only sell the entire hose assy. it was way over $100 and looked like a beotch 2 put in so i didn't buy it. Plus the doubled rubber hose looks fine and seems much more durable then the factory hose.
