Does anyone know what size the spring clips are that hold the vacuum lines on?  6mm or 8mm or other.

I use 5/32 vacuum line and throw them away first time I get the aggravating things off.

I agree with Thunderbolt...I have gone to the 5/32 vacuum lines and can't put the clamps back on.  They just won't go over the outside of the tubing (thicker wall material than stock).  You can pick up the tubing in bulk at any auto parts store. 

If you are running stock tubing and are aggravated at the stupid little spring clips...here is a vast improvement...

I also buy the vac caps and intake o-rings from these good folks.

I don't recommend red eye tubing. It is really thin and tears easily. Auto store tubing works better for me. I am using the OEM clamps and a few of the red eye clamps. I have yet to run without the small clamps on these.
