I've seen the vacuum gauges on other forums and they look handy.

I was going to measure and buy all the hoses off the roll, but I decided I couldn't be bothered so I just added a complete hose kit to an order I was making from Willcox.

It won't hurt replacing them all. I have a feeling it was just the hoses as they are a bit perished in places and that can be detrimental to the vacuum.

MADLT1:
were is the best place to buy a vacume gauge,cause i rang up toolies and there cheapest was $400,way over the top just for that job?

nifty:
i would try MAXX WRENCH in the usa...if you wanted a quality gauge,
or would this work?

I bought a pretty good one from Repco for around $70. It does vacuum and pressure (e.g. for fuel pump).
