Default Vaccum leak help

So I replaced my pcv valves on the valve cover and the back one has a small vacuum line going into it and there is a small hose that is special for fitting two different sized ends.. Mine was so old and brittle it cracked and broke so I need a new one .. Any ideas on what to do besides cap off the lines?

Mine broke as well. I took a piece of rubber hose and connected them. That lasted for a while. I found a newish one at the JY. Hope this helps.

That sucks. It took me like a year to find a good one. I'll keep an eye out but that's one that's not Gona happen overnight. Not sure how quick you are looking to change it out.

Could you use a piece of fuel line? Maybe secure it with clamps if you can't find the perfect size? Just a thought.
