Cracked vacuum line to Evap cannister
So when I was messing around under the hood I noticed some of my vacuum lines weren't seated in their clips. I pushed a little too hard and cracked the line going from the Evap purge solenoid to the Evap cannister. I've got some gorilla tape on it for now; but I can't find any replacement lines online. Should I just cut it and splice with some rubber hose? Last picture I'm pointing to which line on the solenoid it is.

Well when I took the gorilla tape off I broke the tube, so had to splice with some fuel hose. I ended up breaking the tube right at the boot of the evap purge valve connector too. Once again I have it covered in gorilla tape. I think I'm gonna have to go to a scrapyard and get a donor boot to splice onto it. I doubt the gorilla tape is actually air tight. Thinking I'll go find one of these and cut just the one boot out:
This is the damage:
And gorilla tape lol
Here’s the splice I made where I originally broke the line
