[DeTomaso] Brake vacuum tube and hose

[adin at frontier.net]

Just a note, as I have no dog in this fight:

AN-8 is 1/2 inch (I believe) and someone posted that the fitting was .592ish.

Does this mean there are different fitting?  AN08 is different than a  
"dash 8"??

mostly just curious, in Durango



Quoting Barry Seib <oldwheel at mts.net>:

> The price has gone up to $5.98/ft. Canadian including 12% taxes. ( less than

> The -08BLK suffix means it's a AN08 hose size and it's Black.
