Can I just go to a hardware store and/or an auto parts store and buy a roll of silicone tubing and "cut to length"? I assume i could, as long as it works...I only wanna do this because I think yellow vaccuum lines would look cool, and I dont think spray paint is the best idea . I figure if I bought a roll, then I could just take one off, measure, cut new tube to length, put new one on, repeat. Plus I would have leftovers to make fixes for those dern vaccuum leaks .

PS - If I cant do that, what should I use, and/or where can I get the stuff to replace em?

 

Yep, to all that....
My garage cat, Flash, says you should make sure the i.d. is correct, then go to it.....Shoot, you can get tubing most ennawheres....

I need a a garage cat that gives good rotary advice like that.

 

Just as long as the tubing is thick enough that it won't collapse under vacuum, sure! I wouldn't use it for fuel line or oil injection hoses without knowing for sure that it's rated to handle oil or gasoline.

A litle trick... most non-rubber hoses like to kink if you try to put a sharp bend in them, if you find a place where you need a short, sharp bend, instead of routing it normally, put the hose in a nice big 270degree loop. I had to use a 360 degree loop from my fuel regulator to the carb, sure it needed 3x the hose but it never kinked!
