[s-cars] Small Vacuum/Boost hose repair technique needed

[Manuel Sanchez]

Thanks for the idea guys.

One of the lines is tiny and unshielded, probably 3mm or do in dia. I  
don't have any clamps that small but I suppose it need be I could  
find a very small zip tie to try and hold it. I was worried I might  
blow the joint apart (this one feeds my boost gauge which is supposed  
to deliver 25 psi or so).

Regards,

Manny
