| Thank you for the pics. Can you be more specific on why exactly it didn't work. Did you simply need more hose as in order 2=ea or is it that the supplied hose does not bend. Searched your pics but o ly found hood ride bug. |

When I recieved the new tubing I put it next to the og tubing and it looked like it would fit to an eyes view and was very flexible. When I tried installing it the inner diameter was slightly smaller on the new tubing than the og tubing and started to tear as I tried installing it. I tried several times and could not get it on without it tearing. So I went back to the og tubing and clamps and did the best I could with what I had and the pics show the results not 100% beautifull as I would have liked but it will work just fine for its purpose.
If anyone does find a resource for the correct tubing please post as I would like that new look tubing with my og clamps. Thanks, Peter |

Interesting. The stuff they sent me was too big, not too small.
