Emboldened by my recent success with the header gasket, I'm digging into installing the JC4 aux vac pump that's been sitting in a box since buying it 9 mo ago. Funny how time slips by...

Anyway, can't seem to find 1/2" vac hose. NAPA doesn't carry it, and the helpful counter person called 3 other places in town and nada, other than buying a 100' roll. Uh, more than I need.

I'm trying to mount it hanging from the brake booster as such:

So first question, any idea where can I get a foot or so of 1/2" vac hose?

OTOH I've seen an alternative mounting on Gene Fisher's site:
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=36461&title=work-s-pump-mount-small-&cat=4896
where you just plug the pump directly into the booster. So now the second question: Can't figure out how to get the fitting off the booster. Don't want to pry and break something (like that never happens) and couldn't see any slots or clips or whatever.

Help. and Thanks!
