Hi
Anyone done or have pointers to front axle vacuum pipes FWD renewal to nylon or copper
All pipes below engine level are pastry and one side broken off.

Was wondering how the pipes were inserted/held in the rayon/rubber hub pipes


Parts cat - wheel hub piping
Ref No - 33 -- HOSE, SPINDLE VACUUM 4WD 43926-81A20

Would replace all piping from ref 8/9 down to hubs

Any pointers would be appreciated

Thanks

Thanks for the thread.

Seems to be helpful views and completions
Silicon and copper seem to have be the completed ones and congrats to them (found silicon on e-bay easily enough but small bore tee's and elbows seem to be missing, start at 25mm for a 4mm hose.)

My hard nylon co2 fittings on mig have quick straight and 90 couples, but again i have not seen tee's, I'll look into them both again for fittings my local landlady got me the bottles and piping for the mig so i will start there to find fittings.

appreciated

Just found
(not sure about link rules)
xxxx://www.festo.com/pnf/en-gb_gb/products/catalog xxxx
is a co.uk as well.

Who put me on to a local supplier and the guy was very helpful saying that the products are used in auto , pharamacutical, space (:-\ and many other industries for both pneumatic and vacuum applications.

Means I can get some stools setup and make a start after house build finishes(my son)

Maybe someone can get some use out of the link and get a supplier closer to them..

Anyway it was the other thread that pushed me down the road so thanks again
