Anyone out there interested in a group purchase of viton hose of
appropriate size(s) for our cars?

It has excellent oil resistance and it temp rated to 400 degrees;
tests by an RX-7 club show it really stands up to hot oil etc.  Some
of our cars even have viton o-rings in various places from the
factory.

The key is getting enough people to be able to buy 100 or more feet
of the stuff to get the price down.

I measured the ECU line on my 200q20v; it looks like 4mm ID, 8mm OD,
2MM wall.  I -think- there is another size, smaller, used in a few
places on the 200q20v; I have no idea about other cars.

I also have no idea how much hose each particular engine/car uses; if
you know from experience, please email me!  Note we are talking about
engine vacuum lines, not including climate/locking/diff control.

Any info people could provide will go into a summary web page; nobody
has a page with this info(I don't think.)  I'm also going to include
info on what style the OEM clamps are(ear clamps seems to be the
official name), some recommendations for replacements(wide band
spring clamps) and so on.
