Hi guys I am slowley converting all my hoses coolant , air and vacumn to blue silicone. Clearly the servo hose to the plenum (V8) needs to be the non colapsable type so has anyone found the right hose for this application?? If so size, type and who sells them would be appreciated yes

TIA Chris

Hi Mark

Tried these but was just soft hose! I have thought about sliding a soft hose over the top if I can get the right size!

Taken from the site

AutoSiliconeHoses.com 'Auto Flex' Wire Reinforced Silicone Hoses, wire-reinforced hoses offer increased flexibility, very high burst pressures, and will not collapse under vacuum. The wire inner helix allows for the hose to be bent without fear of it kinking and blocking airflow.

Im planning on doing all my hoses too over the winter, this is on my purchase list
