Toyota Sequoia Brake Vacuum Mount

thingiverse

Upon inspecting my '06 Toyota Sequoia's engine bay, I noticed a hose had come loose from its bracket. The original bracket was spot welded to a metal tube that connected the intake to the vacuum assist for the brakes. It probably would have been fine bouncing around for a while but it was engineered to be secure for a reason. My first thought was to get online and search for a replacement, but then I thought maybe this would be a great job for some leftover Ninjaflex. I fired up TinkerCad and did the final touches in Sketchup to produce a quick and dirty bracket adapter. It may look a little crude but it does the job perfectly! It locks nicely in place, and the hose has a nice flexible mount point. You must use a flexible filament as this bracket adapter is designed to stretch slightly over the existing bracket post and lock into place as well as stretch for the hose insertion. When slicing, the gap will appear for the hose insertion (tested with Cura and Slic3r). To relieve tension of the hose, simply bend the bracket to the rear slightly. The original part to replace it was around $30: http://parts.lakelandtoyota.com/p/TOYOTA__SEQUOIA/TUBE--HOSE-TO-HOSE--NO1/3976783/447630C011.html Part# 44763A.
