I hate to piggyback on OP's thread but maybe its all relevant anyhow - does the size of new Vac lines actually matter in these cars or can you just order 10ft of [standard size silicone hose] so long as the thing fits over the nipple(s) I'd imagine on any 'new to me' car it would be nice to delete the vac line maze and just have the minimum necessary ones in new hoses.
Edit: My car would seem to have different sizes connected to other size hoses like evidence of some shoddy DIY work with several plastic smaller to bigger connection pieces here and there

Very interesting, it's been lazy going from D to 2 where as last summer the shift was so hard (proper imo) I was afraid of gearing down manually.
Is the gearbox one easy to find or is this one of those things where we have to zoom in on 1980s diagrams to find the line?

The Gearbox Modulator is very easy to find, its just screwed in the side of the Gearbox on the Passenger Side

Jaguar actually did fit different diameter hoses. And plastic connectors to make the next hose larger/narrower. Reason why, is as it seems that silicone hoses were too expensive back then and it as cheaper to use the awfully-nasty-British-Leyland-cheap-skate-super-bargain-3rd-choice-flawed-fake-rubber hoses of the day.
