Default Neither epoxy nor JB Weld would seal my brake booster / suction pump hose

Epoxy failed within a month. JB Weld failed after 3. Time for a new part.

Everytime I yank that thing out of the accordian to pressure test I'm sure I'm not helping it any. I try to be careful, but who knows if it's me causing the problem or just engine heat or both.

Default Rediculous, especially since the fvcking thing is $100. Once I have the new part

I might try to hack up the old one and rig up a better solution. I just need this solved ASAP.
