Brake Booster Vac Line
the vac line off the LIM to the firewall was very brittle and broken so i replaced it with regular rubber hose. the problem is the hose is not very flexible and is now kinked. if i go to autozone or napa would they have vacuum line big enough, and would it be safe to use instead of the original molded rubber hose? if not where can i get the original molded hose, i didn't see it on mazdatrix, is it a dealer item?
thanks

if you have a TII and no check valve in the brake booster hose, then you have no brakes when you're in boost.
dont be a douchebag and post stuff like this
i doubt your brakes work PERFECTLY, especially when they dont have power assist at all in boost.

anyone have a pic of the source for the booster line? so i guess its on the LIM like said above....
i bolt my upper on tomarrow so i ned to be sure i got the booster hooked up to the correct place.
or maybe someone knows what section of the FSM its cover in? its not under the brakes system part.

If yours doesn't have it, it's been altered.

In my 5 FC's I have never had one with a check valve :-/ The turbo setup brakes perfectly trust me. If you have a extra check valve mail one to me and I will see how it works then.

Sigh at the neglected arrogance around today :-(
The starter of this thread was specifically asking about the line from the hard line to the LIM that is molded. There is NO check valve in this line. Yes I do not have one in this line. Yes my car brakes fine. The valve is in the hose from the booster to the hard line. Unless it is right hand drive.
Now I just went to my car to confirm this again. It has a check valve where I thought in the hose from the booster to the hard line. There is no valve from the hard line to the LIM.

All right now im arguing. The first hose on a non right hand drive car is not molded! The only molded hose is the hose that comes from the hard line to the LIM. This hose has no check valve. The hose from the booster to the hard line on a left hand drive car is not molded. So now I am arguing your neglected responses. READ IT AGAIN!
What part of molded hose did I not understand? THE PART OF NOT MOLDED THAT YOU MISSED.
Stupidity like this **** is what makes intelligent people want to quit the internet, I really am getting fed up with it. People not understanding, one, how you learn and move on. And two how you make stupid responses like this thread.
