The plastic tube cracked just before the dist. I cut it and slid a rubber hose over both ends but I still have a tiny leak. Went to Advance Auto and they didn't have anything so I thought I should ask here before I start driving or calling all around. I am looking to replace the whole hose section and new fitting to as original as possible. Is this all 1/8"? How do I ask[what the style/thread of fitting] or where might I find these peices? The original fittings have the plastic tube with a flared end. Do I use compression fittings or can I simply find the tube and heat the end and flare it myself?
Thanks again for your time and any suggestions,
Karl.

You can replace it with a piece of brake line, properly bent. Fittings should be the same.
