Vacuum caps
« on: 26 February 2011, 15:47 »
I can only find these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VACUUM-LINE-HOSE-PLUG-CAP-KIT-CARBY-HOLLEY-DEMON-DRAG-/120525048540?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c0fda4adc#ht_3194wt_698 from the usa.

Any UK companies that do them individually. As I dont want loads just 2.

Just tried  B&Q and homebase with no luck, shall I just bodge it?

OK I'll carry on looking for a bit then will give in to VW, hate going in there though lol.

On the ABF throttle body on the top left is a 3mm hole, to try and get my car started I just wedged some silicone hose init and tied a knot lol same with another 3mm nipple bit. I was thinking of just blanking it with silicone? But thought it may get sucked in if it disintereates (SP) spell checker cant even find that one  :grin:

Well seems like they only do bulk buys of £30 or less, asked them about buying there stuff for ebay as I havnt seen much of it before, but they didnt get back, so my quest for secondary income continues :)
