Seems like every time I put a vacuum cap on I find it totally roached a year later like this one:

The colored vinyl ones
I had the same problem with the rubber ones. I bought the colored vinyl ones and will never go back. They hold up Waaaay better. Let me find them.
I need to buy a whole grip of those and throw the rubbers away!
You mean you want something better than some 1/4" vac line and a screw buried in it?

Was gonna make a joke about arp vs hardware store bolts in the hoses,
But.. I've used those vinyl colored caps before and I dont know if it was the heat or what but they got really loose over time.

Hmm, that’s never happened in my experience. If anything they might shrink up tighter. I wonder if it depends on the type of plastic. I think the ones I get are from dorman ?
Had the same cracking with rubber caps. Been using the colored vinyl ones for a while too, much better.
There don't seem to be many sources for them. Dorman, Summit, Pico, and Moroso are the only vinyl ones I've found. Moroso has them in black only.
I have purchased them at the autoparts store.
That’s where I get mine too.

A tap and an Allen head set screw?
Bought a set of these guys from Summit and so far they seem pretty solid.
