[QUOTE="westgl, post: 95254, member: 2025"] Slinky, Slinky, I like cheese. Dan, what ever works. With that said the amount of gasoline in the air charge going through that tube at any time is not really that much. You could use radiator hose and it would work especially if you used that thin walled tubing to support the clamped ends, the actual tube/hose length of the runners is under 5" each probably closer to 4.25"-4.50" OAL long of 1.25"id hose and there is 2" of Clamp support tubing 1" in each end, so the unsupported length is more like 2-1/4" in the center of the hose length, if needed a short spring in the middle will keep it from collapsing, Just make sure the hose is smooth in the ID, they had some stuff that looked like a wash board inside the ID, same for the 1.5"ID Not only that, but it would get you back running fast, you could alwasy look it over from time to time during a maintenance to see how it is holding up Radiator hoses are durable some have a woven cord in them It would be a lot cheaper, Radiator hoses hold up to Coolant/anti-freeze and Oil. I think it would last a long time. If you get any collapsing, (I dont think you would) put in a short Spring in the ID, center of the hose. i think you would be fine. [/QUOTE]
