I have previously bought vacuum (Foo foo) valves direct from Steve Parrish, not sure if he still does them. Can anyone advise a supplier, preferably in EU as I now live in France?
Thanks
Vacuum valve source?

Re: Vacuum valve source?
Hello Vyv, They're available on UK Ebay for 8mm and 6mm pipe - see item 232503626327 for 8mm(5/16) and item 232532900804 for 6mm(1/4) . I assume you need one to help/replace the Citroen crankcase breather, I used one in the fuel tank breather pipe to stop fuel surge when filling up. Not sure of availability in France, but I'd suspect that the sellers would send one.
Cheers
Bill

Re: Vacuum valve source?
Hi Bill,. Thanks very much for posting this. I will follow it up.
For info to any other EU members, today I received an order from Car Builder Solutions, who as far as I know do not do this valve, in just a few days. Delivered by DPD, the costs here were very reasonable, VAT free in UK, so paid here plus only €17 duty on €200.

I ordered the first item on Bill's post, the 8mm valve, from eBay UK. Surprisingly it is coming from Germany, so no duty to pay. Not the cheapest delivery but we are becoming used to that, delivery can be costly compared with UK.
