Brake hoses

Has anyone used the brakes hoses that are sold on EBay that are made in Argentina? Also I used to have a vacuum switch between my Tredlevac and the vacuum tank that was electrically activated. I took it off years ago. Is there a source for a new one?

I know nothing about Argentine parts but I have a question about your switched valve. What did it do? Is it something that replaced the valve in the vacuum hose and if it is how did the brakes work differently before and after installation (what did it fix).... Inquiring minds are interested....Tedd

I ran it without it for years but it look like a one way valve that would allow vacuum to develop in the tank and the solenoid valve would not activate till it received current from the brake light circuit. This would keep vacuum in reserve till you needed it. It seemed to work ok without it. I can't get the link to work but if you look for 54-55 brakes hoses they are $22.81.
