Guys,

Hose (B) is supposed to join Tubes (A) and (C).

However tube (C) seems to be canted toward the front of the car while tube (A) points straight down. If I join the tubes using hose that is not molded (i.e. from the dealer) it puts a kink in the hose that will block passage.

So, can anyone tell me if this pipe has been bent? Do they all sit this way? Why?

If it is bent, I would prefer not to try to bend it back because I don't want it to break off. I also do not remember how it is attached to the engine. Is it a threaded fitting?

I am thinking of just getting a length of 1/4" copper and connecting it at both ends using short lengths of hose.

Anybody have any input or suggestions?

Thanks.

Molded S hose is needed at least on my car and mine is a S5 NA....

Thanks, I guess that means the forward cant is normal.

The hose in question carries vacuum to the brake booster, and the dealer says they are not available anymore. So, for now, I just bent and cut a length of copper tubing - joined it using short sections of rubber.

I hope the engine movement is not too much for it.
