Question Vacuum hose replacement size(s)?

What size diameter (mm), and about how much (length) of silicone vacuum line will I'll need to replace my factory emissions/rats nest? (the hard to get to areas). I want to replace these areas as my motor is currently out of the car, and would be much easier to do so now, prior to the motor going back in.

I'm told 3.5mm but not sure how much of it I'll need (how many feet of it). However, after checking with hose techniques website, I don't see any 3.5 mm sizing...

http://www.hosetechniques.com/silicone-vacuum-hose-c-1

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

- 40 feet of 3.5mm (all small solenoids).

- 15 feet of 4.0mm (Windshield washers and boost controllers).

- 16 feet of 6.0mm (larger air lines on engine).

- 4 feet of 8.0mm (larger air lines on engine).

More than you need but better safe than sorry

Looks like the High Temp Silicone Hose site is now down so you'll have to find another source, hose techniques works well

Eh? Click the link above, it's right there, they have 3.5mm in spades.

Really, you don't need any of the 4mm stuff unless you REALLY want to do the washer nozzle lines. They're barely seen and the stock black suits them just fine.

The size list above is for doing EVERYTHING with room to spare on a stock sequential car.

BTW, I've been using Hose Techniques hose for at least 10 years if not more. First rate product, good price, and it will outlast your car. It's the way to go.
