Title: vacuum hose
Post by: azdriver on July 12, 2026, 09:43:58 AM
Is there a source for correct underhood tilt away vacuum hose line set? I see NPD is out.

Thanks, Pat

There isn't any. Jack Brooks (Dead nuts on) was the source for making it any no longer is so therefore anybody who is selling it is no longer available to get any

Critter Creek Cougar has the white and green stripe vacuum line kits. Pre 69 version no printed part number on hose. Approx 1/4 ID and 7/16 OD. Generous length, might be able to do 2 cars. (800) 816- 8130. crittercreekcougar@gmail.com   Kinda $ with shipping and tariffs out of Canada but what is your alternative.

Sure, no problem. It's a hard one to chase down.

I was able to order some vacuum hose today. They are almost sold out if anyone else is needing some.

Thanks for the help...

Glad you got your hose kit.

I received the hose kit yesterday. Some hoops to jump through given shipping from Canada. Total cost was about $350 so there is that..... they told me the source the correct original hose from the original supplier and this kit is of much better quality than the other kit offered. Never having seen the other I can't say. If anyone decides to go this way, make sure to call Critter Creek Cougar directly as their website is under construction and not working very well.

  The issue seems to me the makers all shifted to "metric" sizes and no longer make hose in U.S. dimensions.
