Re: 5/16 vaccum hose
I wouldn't use any other hose other than correct vacuum hose as it's designed especially to withstand collapsing in on itself whereas normal hose is not and is designed to not expand or blow out under pressure.
You should be able to get some from a good local motor factors, most "old school" factors would sell it by the foot or metre. If no luck there search for hose suppliers on google.

Seconded, if you can take it off the car pop around and they will cut to size the right stuff. Any decent factors will do it.
