Bulk correct vacuum lines

Hey all,
Looking at the 58s, all of them are going to need the vacuum lines replaced (as well as other cars I'm working on).  I was just about to buy several rolls of different size spools of Gates vacuum tubing on Amazon when I wondered if there is a source for the correct vacuum lines with the 'ribs' or 'draw lines' as original?  If the vendors sell it, somebody makes it, but has anyone found a retail source for this in bulk?

Thanks,
Scott

Hello Scott

Try contacting Craig Wood at McVeys.
All good men own a Cadillac but great gentlemen drive a LaSalle. That is the consequence of success.

Mastermind has the correct 4 tube extrusion.   It also comes with a routing diagram.

57EB12-023 is his item number.  Go down the page about a third of the way.

Thanks David, I'll give him a call!
I had looked at that molded 4 line piece and figured there was no way anyone re-popped that.
That is what is forum like this.   :)
