hia guys,

Want to connect the brake vacum pipe up and sort it out once and for all, basically at the moment the two nobbly end bits (see pic) are facing each other with about 4-5 inches space between them, what I need to know is what have you guys used as material?

I have tried using the original piping by reheating it using big fun power tools and then remold it over but it wasnt having any of it, the plastic stuff just wasnt giving way!

pics - this is what I need the pipe to slip over and fit, it will also have a nobbly bit on the other end to slip over aswell!




Any ideas?

Cheers.
