    Vacuum Lines - 71 vette

    I am replacing all my vacuum lines on my 71 Vette. When replacing the lines that run to the headlights, I noticed an extra two lines (thin ones) that were cut and not in use.

    Any Ideas of what they are?

    Thanks

    Peter, They are lines that were used for headlight washers in earlier sharks that were discontinued in the 1971 year. Paul

      They should have a red stripe on them if they're the original headlight washer lines. I purchased the reproduction lines and cut them to match the originals even though I have no washers (late 71 car).

      Any reason you're replacing all your lines?

        Hi - thanks for the help.

        I am replacing the lines because I have some vacuum leaks. Instead of finding the problem, I thought it would be a good time to replace them all with oroginal looking ones.

        You say you have a 71 vette, did you restore it? If so, do you mind if I keep your e-mail handy to bounce ideas off of you from time to time?

        Regards

            Thanks Patrick,

            I saved your e-mail. I will be getting in touch. I am doing quite a few things on my vette and a voice of experience is always worth alot.
