smallest anyone has is 1/4.
Will that work for splicing the vaccuum line to install the boost gauge.

No one, not compressor supply stores, plumbing specialty stores, Home depot, Lowes, etc... nobody's got these things.

Default I guess that might be nylon... not sure. They're selling one on TTStuff that's nylon for this.

thoughts?

Depends on what kind of hose you are using to hook up your gauge.

Default Then the T I posted above will not work. That is only for use with the real thin nylon hose.

The thin hose is so much easier to run back into the cabin.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ttstuff.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&amp;Product_Code=VDO-150851">Nylon Hose.</a></li></ul>

Default yeah, but will they send you a single 3/16" fitting? >

BUT - another opportunity for the Shack - you just need 'very tiny' letters!
