The small vacuum lines on my 22R are beginning to become brittle and I'm wanting to replace them. I would like to try and keep it close to original as possible. Does anyone know the sizes I need and a good place to pick up some? Thanks in advance, Cliff
when I first did mine, i just went to a local auto supply store, popped the hoses off, and brought em in to get the right lengths of the right diameters.
Thanks Justin. So far I haven't had much luck at the auto parts stores for metric tubing. I will check a few more places. Also I just looked in McMaster-Carr catalog and they have some. I now to figure out the sizes I will need.
Try Amazon. You want to get silicone tubing if you can find it. It’s metric but I forget the sizes.
I've always used auto parts tubing....1/4? Or whatever is close enough. Buy it by the foot, get like 8ft and replace one at a time, match, cut, place. Toyota rubber is the best though....most of my hoses feel brand new and they're 30+ years old.
If you can I'd try to keep or reuse as much of the Toyota stuff that is still good. You can just cut off stretched ends and use it to replace shorter hoses.
My dad was a tuneup tech in the 70's-80's? He said it was routine to replace every vacuum hose every 30-40k miles on the American cars he worked on. To this day, he will rant and rave about his 30 year old toyota with original vacuum hoses and how Japanese rubber is amazing, lol.
Lol. On another note. I want to replce my work out fuse box cover decal that is located under the hood. Do you have any sources? Or should I start another thread?
Replace all the hose with silicone hoses,many sources. The decal goggle search it & print out & seal it & glue in place!
