Lindsey Racing and Paragon Products both sell the silicone tubing kits and they all come with t-fittings, etc.

Price runs $25-$35 per kit, and you will have plenty of tubing left, plus a couple of fittings

Yeah I used Lindsey Racing, It came with 25ft of hose and 4 metal "T"s. I'll try to take some pics today if I think about it.

I too am looking to re do all the vacuum lines. Is it all limited to just the engine bay?

http://www.928motorsports.com/parts/vacuumlines.php
kit from 928 motorsports saids you never have to replace them again.

same hold true for lindsey racing's kit?

Does your kit also come with lines that run off of the intake boot or are those separate?

thanks

I never see clamps mentioned. These don't need them?

Typically for small diameter lines you don't.

Especially since on a non-turbo they'll only ever see vacuum.

On a turbo car, the small lines can be held in place with zip ties to keep them from blowing off.

Larger lines you would use a clamp of some type.
