Post subject:  Where do you get your rubber vacuum hose?

Im trying to find rubber vaccuum tube. My local autoparts store, and from what I've seen on amazon, only carry the combination vacuum/windshield washer fluid tubing. This type of tube is really flimsy and thin walled, I don't think it would hold up to vacuum generated by the engine, especially at underhood Temps.

Am I'm being unreasonable? I guess I could try it, but my instincts (and a lot of the reviews) tell me to find better tubing. I don't want to use silicone, as I'm trying to keep appearance original.

Where do you find old school quality rubber vacuum tube these days? Got a brand you prefer?

Those from gates and Dorman are also windshield washer vacuum combo, as I've found everywhere else. The Fairchild is actual vacuum hose, and it's rated at 24hg, I hesitate because I believe my engine vacuum ranges from 20 to 26 during varied operation. But, I'm getting tired of looking so I'm just gonna order a few and see which one has thickest wall
