Need to buy a bag of vacuum components
My SDL is in need of replacement of a number of those rubber links that connect the vacuum hoses. Some are a straight 'coupling' for two hoses, others are a 'Y' connector, etc. Is there a bag of them with various sizes/configs that one can buy? I've seen the 'Y' connectors in the catalog on this site but could not find the simple coupling anywhere.
Thx - James

The F, T, Y and X shape pieces are proprietary design, the straight joints would be PO's using rubber vacuum tubing to mend broken vacuum plastic pipes.
I have not seen any straight ones on my car, I have placed one or two to repair broken plastic pipes. For best help - click on parts and get hold of Phil - he would write you up in exactly what you need.

those kind of vacuum pieces are ubiquitous on most Mercedes cars of the era not specific to and model. Try a local salvage yard to see if you can find some. I just pulled a bunch of that kind of stuff of of a car in the yard to keep just in case.

Thanks, I get some stuff from the bone yard, but I would like brand new vacuum rubber components - every MB that I've looked at in the scrap yard had stuff worst looking that what I got on mine.... that rubber doesn't age well in that heat.

I pull these pieces off cars just as a nervous habit in scrapper yards, hose clamps too, even if I don't need them, and chuck 'em in the bag of parts I'm set out to buy.. They don't even charge you for stuff like this if you've buying something else more tangible at the same time.
