brake booster hose

I'm debating on using heater hose for redoing my brake booster hoses. Ill really have to look at it this weekend and see if I can just completely redo it all without that metal pipe in between.

Oh sorry, I have a s4t2. Anyone else have any better ideas?
I really want to do all of it, and not only the one that is cracked

The hose from the firewall tube to the booster contains the check valve so if you replace it, you'll need a valve of some sort.
I get all my molded hoses from the junkyard. There are an infinite variety, if you look long enough, you'll find exactly what you need.

I removed all the tubing/wiring/hoses from my firewall, including the vac booster feed.
Unfortunately, there's nothing to show in a picture because hiding it was the whole point.

I saw that check valve, mine looked like it was external and not inside the hose. I was hoping to just reuse that

Sure, if it works, a check valve is just a check valve.

only consideration is that the hose can't collapse under vacuum...
