Replacement hoses from the Hydrovac to the Hydrovac filter

Most of the line from the Hydrovac to the Hydravac filter is metal. But there are the the rubber hoses that connect the different parts of the metal line. I need to replace them but struck out at Napa and Autozone as all they had was heater hose. Frank CCKW didn't have them nor did Peter Debella. Frank suggested air conditioner hose as a viable replacement. What have you guys used? Thanks, Hammerhead

Hydraulic suction hose for all as it will not collapse

I would suggest McMaster.com (McMaster-Carr) as a starting point since they have a good selection.

Anyhose thats chemical proof will do, but install a spring to the inside to stop the hose collapsing.make sure the spring is a good fit so it wont move or make sure you bend the hose so the spring won't move inside.
