where to buy 1/2" power brake vacuum hose?
Guys
The 5.3 vacuum port for the power brakes is 1/2" ID. Im having a heck of a time finding this hose anywhere. Where are you guys getting it?
Im trying a few experiments to adapt the 1/2" nipple down to 3/8" too but if that doesnt work, im gonna need that hose.
Not even these semi truck parts guys have this stuff!!!!
thanks

My intake/fuel lines/etc are going into a car with manual brakes, so I won't need my booster hose (if your looking for exact fit for 4th gen f body). There are probably others near you with parts laying around. Best bet though, is to get 1/2 inch heater hose or oil hose. The latter can be found at any hydraulic hose shop (several Car Quest locations have them). Heater hose is at every auto parts store.

I could NOT find this stuff either at any parts store or GM dealer.
I did locate Eaton "Easy Couple" Hose 1/2" - PN H20108 at a heavy truck parts shop. It is nice and flexible and is rated for full vacuum. Costs about $1.50/ft. It's also available in other sizes including 3/8".
"Eaton’s Easy Couple Hose, H201, is an excellent solution for general purpose, low pressure air, water, oil and fuel applications. In addition to the new higher working temperature rating, sizes 4 through 12 will carry a full vacuum rating of 28 inch/Mg. Note size 16 will not carry a vacuum rating."
