Default Having trouble finding 3.5mm Vac line...
It seems like AZ only has sizes like 3.18 or 3.87mm. I take i that teh vac line needs to be exactly 3.5mm, right? And if so, where to go?

Thanx.

Default 3.87mm should do, just clamp or zip them.
The 3.5 vac lines tend to have thicker walls which prevent them from collapsing under vac. 4mm fits but have thin walls on most lines.

Default all the autozones and Advanceds here are out of anything close.
the smaller one should work for you.

I did most of my lines with some stuff from advanced about 6 months back and now they are telling me they canr find it (because they dont have it)


FARK

these places suck

I'll just tack that on to my dealer request.
