1995 vacuum hose/plastic tubing

[Liam95ZR1]

I have a 1995 ZR1 and it sat for 10 years after 150k miles. All of the vacuum hose and plastic tubing are cracked and or needs to be replaced. Is there any way to keep it original? I have not been able to find anything reproduced or NOS:fahne. Thanks for your suggestions.

I've had good results with tubing from McMaster Carr formed with a heat gun and annealed copper wire.

If he doesn't have it, he can get it.

Not sure if this company actually has or can get it despite being pricey:
Good luck with your quest as more and more items are becoming NLA.

I spoke with motor city corvette parts via webchat, they don't have them in stock but claim that can get them by 12 December. Unfortunately, they don't deliver outside of US & Canada which is a problem for me as I'm in Australia.

Might be a good opportunity for a US based member to purchase a few sets to on-sell to us international Z owners.

Sorry to hear that. If you need help to get one to you I?ll be happy to help as middle man. I?m in Japan with a US military address and can ship to Australia if you wish. I have the brand new AC Delco in the photo, but might need it for my 95 when I pull the plenum this winter to install ported top end. Best wishes in your quest.

Thanks HAWAIIZR-1, thats a very kind of you. I've emailed Jerry to see if this is something he can source if not i might just take you up on that offer.

Has anyone used Motor City Vettes? Are they a legitimate seller/store? Can't say I've heard of them before and don't recall anyone mentioning them on corvette forums before.

I?d buy whatever you have. Car has sat for 10 years. 267-626-6218. Thanks.

I hope Jerry will have reproductions made for those desiring to keep the secondaries functioning as intended by the General. If not, I?m glad to help out. The only thing I can tell you about Motor City Vettes is they have been posting on Facebook since 2016. Hopefully someone else has experience with them, but we are a small sample community here.

Liam,

Looks like there is a set posted for sale by a forum member.
Looks like your Z is a 95. I have a 94 and 98% of tubing, I believe, is the same as early cars. Also, with old tubing you are removing, you will have extra pieces if needed to address the difference.

I ordered from MotorCity Corvette parts and they canceled my order. They said the vacuum harness is no longer available.

Sorry to hear this and thanks for sharing for others. It would seem that this would be one of the easier items to replicate.

I do have one (not new for the earlier years). How bad is yours? As soon as I get around to it, I?ll replace my original in my 95 and it will be available with 32K miles, but I have not checked it yet. I only know I need to replace a check valve.
