Hey All,
Has anyone come up with an alternative to that crazy elbow vac tube between the SU carbs? I'm working on a 79 SSII and those two hoses have cracked big time.

Is that UE 40668?

I have no idea.

If you plug that number in at Introcar or Flying Spares, it comes up as a hose, unfortunately there is not photo.
It doesn't matter anyway, it's no longer available.

Custom maybe, don't know if there's a minimum order.

Silicone Hose | High Temperature Hose | Silicone Coupler - Flex Technologies

I did a search for "custom coolant hoses"

Just use regular 1/4 inch vacuum hose, cut out the T part of the steel pipe leaving 3/4 inch stubs on each side and replace the steel pipe with hose.

I also use small circular pinch hose clamps just to be sure they they stay on and provide a tight fit.
Note: check the sizes in the posted assortment.

Here's another.

When there is no supply from the usual RR sources, one must innovate and search for alternatives that work. Use Google and search accordingly. I'm sure there are OEM from other manufacturers that may work. Open the hood of your daily driver, a friends car, etc and you may notice a suitable replacement.
