Hi all,
I recently was looking up some part numbers for the Tecalan (plastic)
vac tubing used on most MB's. Here's some updated information. I'm not
sure if all these part numbers are still available, I may try to order
a few of the oddball ones and see what shows up. I have ordered most
of these in the past with good results. If your tubing is original, it
may snap like dry twigs if you look at them wrong - worth checking,
and replacing, if you haven't already done so. They're mostly under $3
per meter, MSRP - call Rusty to order. Some of the fittings &
splitters are a little higher, they can be $2-$6 each.

If anyone orders these parts, and finds any of my information to be
inaccurate, PLEASE let me know and I'll update the list. About half
the numbers have been verified from past orders, the rest are "best
guess" from EPC data.
I also posted this on Rusty's forum for future reference:
