Just get a line of rubber hosing of the same diameter and cut to size.
Early cars had a valve in the tube but it's not really needed.

If you have any doubt, talk to the guys herewww.t-v-r-services.co.uk/ and they'll send you some.

My mistake, sorry.
At a guess then it would be a Rangerover part- possibly from a Discovery?

thanks thought someone would know.

RPI sell the vac advance actuators for a few quid, I expect most RV8 specialists will supply them, and any decent TVR dealer/specialist. If you get stuck you could even pick them up from a Land Rover dealer although you might end up paying over the odds.

Standard LR ones on ebay for £40 IIRC, RPI for £45. Wise man say car run better with vac disconnected, but I remain sceptical. You could try it though...
