Help me solve this dilemma! So the nipple that the vacuum hose attaches to at the booster is too small for the correct size LS hose and I can't order the GM 15823207 nipple that works with the correct size hose because the hole in my booster is too big! My measurement of the end that goes into the booster is .792 and the GM one is much smaller. The perfect solution would be to find a nipple the is .792 on the booster side and .500 on the hose side but I don't know of any like that. Any ideas or suggestions for my dilemma? I don't know who makes my booster, it is a 8" dual diaphragm unit though. Name: Booster.jpg
