914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Anyone find a good substitute for drip hoses?

Posted by: tdgray Jun 26 2006, 02:54 PM

Put the rain tray and related stuff in over the weekend.

Don't plan on driving in the rain... but ya never know.

I have the funnels still but when I removed the hose of course ... SNAP.

So where is a guy to get something that may look similar??? Or am I stuck trying to find some.

As always a million thanks blah blah blah.

I bought some clear rubber tubing at Home Depot. Doesn't look the same, but does work the same. Its a little bit stiff, but it works.

The clear vinyl hose works like a charm. I used it to repair the drainage in my fresh air intake. The two drain spouts were broken. I took a plastic join and cut it in half and JB Welded it in place of the broken spouts. Then used the clear hose to complete the drain.

I used black from Home Depot as I did not like the clear.

I found the exact same size of black ribbed hose at OSH hardware in Huntington Beach. They sell as irrigation hose in a roll of 20' for something like $25.00
