RE: [Chrysler300] power brake vacuum hose - 300G

[<john_nowosacki@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For my old G coupe, I got vacuum line from Napa, but it was very stiff and difficult to route.
Maybe it has to be that way to avoid collapsing when in vacuum, but I would've liked it to be more pliable.
So far, so good with the original hose on my G vertible.

Well there is only 1/32 (.031) difference in ID between 1/2 and 15/32nds.
I've had mine on for over 60,000 miles now with no problems, and I'm using
the original clamps. I would have to say that it fits just fine.
300ly,
    Don
