Default Silicone Hoses

I try to search around here and could not find anything on replacing hoses. There are some pictures and that is it. Does any one have hose diagram. Also mine kit hoses are thinner so the stock clams don't work what arte you guys using.

Where did you get your kit from? Do you know the sizes (in mm) of the hoses you got? I posted a thread about this last week, but no one will respond

I believe that the smallest hoses are 3.5mm, and from what I understand the "tighter" the fit the better. A snug fit is good, so if is not too tight to fit in general, you should be good.

Clarification from someone who has actually replaced these would be great!

I got from e-bay it comes with 25 ft of hoses and three diffrent size. The bigest one is for brake booster and small ones are for power steering hoses.
wHen I get home I can check on sizes and let you know. Stock clams don't work with them.

1/8" is what you will want for most of the vacuum lines. You should use silicone on all of them before you put them on. They should technically be tight enough to not need clamps, but most people just use zip ties.

I'm an idiot and somehow posted it twice. Pleas pretend this second post had something interesting to say!
