Is the vacuum hose from inlet manifold to booster a specific moulded item?
I've wrestled a hose into place, but it's ugly. Not only that but it needs to be different sizes at each end! 13mm?
My guess is that it's originally sorta S shaped. Has anyone,
a. got a shot of an original/neat installation
b. found a source?

You can just use any good quality hose that flexs a bit, just clamp down the smaller end with a hose clamp tight enough to seal in vacuum pressure  :).

Here's a pic of the hose if it helps.

Thanks for the responses

I'll try a few of the usual sources for a new preformed hose - I can't seem to get the bulk hose to sit out of the way.
