help on vaccum hoses

[ponzy]

before anything else.....thanks for everyone, im up for continuing my plenum job, the weather here on east coast is getting better.

i did started the plenum job about last month (1st week of feb), i did cut most of the small vaccum hoses attached bet. plenum and throttle body, some on bet plenum and towards air duct. now i was in advance auto shop, autozone, and some local auto parts shop and they only have standard vaccum hoses (measured in inches: 7/32 etc.) and the one on the diagram i think is measured in metric. here are some of part codes of the vaccum hoses i need:

22320HA22310B (L=100); (L=70); (L=110); (L=100); (L=80)22320HD

those are the one's i cut, can't find it in a local shop elsewhere. i wanna finished it up my this weekend. hopefully anyone can help me out with this one AGAIN......thanks

in (L=110) >>>>>>> what is "L" stands for thickness of the hose or just the 'angle' appearance of the hose? the only available vac hose size (inside diameter) is standard (5/32, 7/32, 5/16), that's far as i recall on the shops i've been to. any other ideas?

Tisk Tisk trying to use American Standard sizes on a vehicle that is of world standard METRIC design.

Try asking the BMW, Ferrari, Porsche, MB specialist in your area where they get their METRIC hoses.

so, where can we get those? those vac hoses from the q is in metric's, right?

Are you asking me to call around JC.............I know some GUYS in the Oranges who might deliver WHOLE CARS or a truck load or sell you the keys to a warehouse or help the Sopranos with dirty work.

you must be sniffing premium gas again dennis...hehehe ..it's not april fools yet dennis. anyways, i'm serious...is there any regular shop you know that sells those metrics, ohterwise im just gonna use their equivalent size to that of standard(almost equivalent size)

[Q45tech]

We use oem hoses and have a jobber who supplies us with specialty hoses and nuts, bolts, washers, bulbs, sprays, rags,. He visits once per month and restocks us.

Metric hose is common if you don't work on domestics, go to an independent MB shop they'll sell you some.

Call/visit Hudson or DiFeo Nissan in JC and ask where they get their generic vacuum hose.

ponzy, the 'L' refers to the length of the hose in millimeters.

the OEM hose can be bought from IoS, it is p/n INF#B2318-N3301.they only sell it in 5 meter bulk pak and it is about $40 for the pack.

of course, 5 meters is a lot and will do several cars. I've replaced every vac hose on the G50 and U13, and i still have some left over.

gotta say the OEM hose is the shizzle. stays nice and pliable over the years.

If you are really in a pinch, hit me an e-mail and you can buy some from me.
