i need to connect 2 boost gauge lines together, they are nylon (seems plastic to me tho) vaccume lines for a boost gauge, 1/8 inch... i need to connect 2 of them togehter to form one line... where can I get the fittings to make this happen so i can get my boost gauge going?

 

yer using th line that came with the gauge i assume...i usually go to a hardware store, buy a plumbing fiting to fit over the stock one and run vac line to the guage...i have problems w/ the "plastic" line kinking on one of my cars and ive never used it again 3 cars later, still doing the same thing

 

i just need some 1/8 inch connector pieces to connect the two together and i'll be happy. lol

 

What type of gauge is it. The Defi boost gauge I used to have had a much better way to connect it then my friends Autometer boost gauge.

 

It is probably the Autometer as Defi uses rubber material. The Autometer is supposed to come with a fitting to fit it, but your local hardware store should have something that will work.

 

Hey Bill Nye, nylon IS plastic.

 

it's the 15 dollar sunpro one... hahahaaaaa

tonight i go to autozone and advance auto to try to find the plastic fasteners for them.

 

Let this soak in for a minute...

How does the hose connect to the gauge itself? Probably with some rubber tubing. How about connecting the two nylon lines together with a small piece of tight fitting rubber hose?

 

Pep Boys sells the brass 1/8th fittings for this stuff. That's where I got mine.

 

i used the rubber hose connector things, worked great, thanks man!
