Does anyone have any decent alternatives to the pipes used on th original items as I am struggling to find anything accurate in the uk
Will post my finished item once finished just working on the vest part of it
Hoses?
Yes hoses I guess
Any help would be great
I used some 1.5" Flexible Duct Hose:
http://www.nostalgicairparts.com/air-conditioning/1-5-inch-flexible-duct-hose-406.php
I purchased 10’ of that hose.
Then wrapped it in some heat shrink fabric:
I found 10’ sections on eBay and went with that.
End result:
The top hose is pre-heat shrink fabric and the bottom hose is after it was applied.
Hope that helps.

She’s still a work in progress buy here’s my build thread:
But* not buy
hey geKx,
when you bought the hose did you put 10 for QTY: or did you have to specify with the company?
Yes, It was a drop down option on the eBay listing.
Just re-read that question.
Sorry, I thought you ment the heat shrink fabric.. on the hose it was sold per foot.
I went with 10’ because I had read the two back hoses were around 3’ a piece and the side was 4’.
I’d rather have them too long and then shorten as needed than too short to begin with.
yeah I noticed they sold the hose by the foot and when it says quantity I was wondering if you put 10. Sorry I didn’t phrase my questions clear.
Yep, just put a 10 in for the quantity.
They ship it in one solid 10 foot piece.
cool deal thanks for the quick response!!
just called the site for the duct hose and they havn’t been able to stock it in months. any other ideas where to source em?
