Embarrassed now but at least the link to the pipes was a help
I've just got my electrics sorted (whoopie!) and everything seems to work, apart from my hazard warning switch. 8-(
Now for the important stuff - anyone know where I can get tough flexible plastic hose to connect up my air horns? It's about 4 - 5mm inside
diameter, but quite thick-walled.
They only gave a piddling little bit in the package...
Mind you, the horn compressor makes an impressive "prrthp!" when I hit the switch... who needs trumpets! 8-)
DJ
what about fuel line?
That's a thought - would take the pressure, but might be too bulky.
I'll have to have a look...
DJ
Brake pipe . .. . .?
Look in the yellow pages for hose and hydraulic suppliers, industrial pnematics use many sizes of tube and it can be obtained in nylon or polyurathane
.braided pvc hose as used for air tools also would work.

Don't RS components have stuff like this by the metre in the mechanical part of their catalog?
Damn, I'd forgotten them! That's a thought...
Trouble is, I doubt that they would sell me 2 metres! 200, maybe.
DJ
Postscript - just had a look at RS - 25 metres at around £17.50 + P&P + VAT. I think I'll carry on looking.
Actually, previous posters have made a useful suggestion. There's a air & hydraulic hose supply house in my local town - might be worth a
visit on Saturday.

I have to confess to being one of those annoying twats in the late 70's with the dukes of hazard horns and some.

Halfords sell packs of the same kinda tubing used in a tropical fish shop.
Its for washer jets and comes in different sizes.

Steve,
Every so often I go into Halfords and totally fail to find what I'm looking for...
...a total waste of space, as far as I'm concerned.
Bob,
I hasten to add that my horns are the standard "2 horns sounded together" type!
King loud, tho'.

I had some of those on my Mini, they were compulsory fittings on them. I found that lengthening the pipe changed the tone from a high to a lower one,
still loud though.
yours, Pete.

Nope - the Ipswich Halfords were up (down?) to their usual standard today...
Found what I wanted in a local industrial hydraulics/pipes/etc. warehouse at 84p a metre! Nice to speak to professionals - they ended up with several
reels on the counter, trying to decide whether the example piece I took in was metric or imperial (I couldn't tell the difference looking at the
different items!).
