  • Is there a way to custom bend vacuum hoses?

    Just curious, I have to do a 180* bend in a 1/2" vacuum line, was wondering if there was some way to heat up hose to get a custom bend or not.

    i don't know about 1/2, but you can bend 3/8 around a coke bottle with no kinks. one of those wire reinforced vacuum hoses might be a better option.

      I meant to have it keep the bend, formed.

          This. An old Acura I had used what looked like AL/brake line for solid vacuum lines everywhere. It was weird.

              They make 45, 90, 180 bends and everything in between out of plastic.
