I replaced almost evert rubber vacuum hose section under the hood and ran into one small problem. Thake a look at the pic to see that one stud is 3/16" and the other is 1/4". Previously, there was a 1/4" hose connecting the two which caused a small leak. I managed to shove a 3/16" hose over the 1/4" stud and now the leak has stopped but it looks crappy and I'm woried that it might fall of the one end (you can see that it didn't go on very far. What does the original line look like??

OOOps, forgot to mention this too. The BCS has that V-shaped line that I would like to replace. Has anyone seen direct replacements?

Also, there is a missing foam "cap" of sorts just beside the aformentioned line. What is supposed to go there too?

want a picture of mine?

Sure, if you have one handy.

wow i forgot how cold it was outside...

i found that on mine, the smaller side was extrememy loose, it basically just fell off...and a lot of the lines looked liked they need to be replaced...maybe loosing some boost there?

anyways here ya go

That looks exactly like the one I removed. Hmmm... maybe a plactic hose clamp would work???

Thanks for going out there in the cold for me!

Just use 1/4 hose and then clamp it onto the smaller fitting. Thats whats gotta be done.
