NA6 & NA8 Brake Servo Vaccum Hose

Postby myredmx5 » Tue Oct 18, 2016 11:17 am

Had no luck getting a replacement hose as this part is no longer available.

Has anyone got any idea of how to remove the old non return valve and insert it into a new vacuum hose.

Just had a look on my NA8 - removing it by slicing the pipe length-ways shouldn't be too difficult, but trying to insert & manoeuvre it to the mid point of the pipe wouldn't be easy. Heat & lube will get it started - perhaps then it can be left closer to either end rather than going for the mid point.

I had no luck getting one in when I needed to run a non stock hose.

I went and bought a brass non return valve from my local brake specialist and some vacuum hose and made one up. The brass valve it like any other hose fitting
