Does anybody know where I can get, or a good alternative, vac tube?

Cheers Tunnie  :y Anything that will suffice for now, as I have no multiram and could do with a bodge fix until I get the right stuff.

Not worth bodging, Loo-Knee has broken fair few Omegas recently, so hopefully has some Vac pipes about. Otherwise check with the other breakers  :y

If you need a repair ASAP; then, motor factors often have a choice of various diameters of thick-walled rubber hose with which you could make a join of the existing (broken/worn-through) plastic length.....you shouldn`t need any clamps on the repair piece, as long as the rubber portion is a tight sliding fit over the outside of the old plastic pipe. :y

Agreed. I have repaired them like this before. Just take a bit of the plastic pipe to a decent motor factors and find some rubber hose that is a nice tight fit. :y
