Any Ideas?

I bought this from ECS thinking it could be used to repair my vacuum lines on my B5. But it's way too big for that. Anyone think of some other uses for it, since it's not worth it to send it back. Thanks.

Ok. You need 3.5mm ID for your lines. Flex Technologies - Your Silicone Hose Solution is where I got mine. Crazy cheap per foot, multiple colors available. Get 15 feet and you'll have a few feet left over.
