What do you guys use to replace the vacuum line when it cracks? You know, the plastic one. I cracked a quantum's one.

I got mine at the hardware store. The first try, the wall was too thin and it collapsed after a few months. Thicker wall hose still working fine after 2 years. (edit)

You should address those brake issues.

Had a friend that once said:

"if you can't get your car running, you can't kill anyone with it. If you can't get your car stopped, you can kill someone with it."
