Smile Vacuum lines help

Hello Guys, I was changing my plugs and I broke 2 of my vacuum lines since the plastic were all dry, question, where can I find them here in Canada, I went to dealer, parts source they do not carry them, I went to look for them in a junker I found some but they are a little bit bigger, will this make a diference? Please let me know. Thanks in advance for your comments.

just go to your local parts store and get some rubber vaccum line that slides onto the hard plastic portion where it broke off and run the new line with rubber hose

Ok Guys thanks for your feedback, I went to get some in the junker yesterday but my idling problem still the same it goes up and down, I notice that it is doing that when the charging neddle goes below the 1/2 gauge mark, could be the alternator ? because I did change the spark plugs and replaces the Vacuum hoses and still the same, any ideas what should I do ? I hate to go to the mechanic to find out it was a little detail and pay at least 80 dollars ! I am trying to avoid it ! LOL.
