GSLSE vacuum hose

I want to purchase and replace my vacuum hoses on my car. I cannot find the Mazdatrix page with the appropriate lengths and sizes. Does anyone know how much of each size off the top of their head?

I would start with something like the Vibrant Performance Silicone Vacuum Hose kit 2104b, or another color, and then order more if needed.

You can buy it by the foot at a local auto parts store. Take a piece with you for size comparison. 5/16 works I think as no parts store will carry 8mm vacuum line. You can also order vacuum line from McMastercarr.com.

Wayback Machine to the rescue!

Says 10ft of 3.5mm
6 ft of 6mm

I don't think that includes the 10mm hose you need for the brake booster. If you're replacing that also, make sure to grab the one way check valve from the original hose between the booster and hard line.

That 10ft for the 3.5mm hose is not accurate for a GSL-SE. I think I went through 20ft of that size.
