cooling hoses and clips?

[tilleryrat]

Does anyone know the cheapest place to get 3/8 ID cooling line along with the pinchable clips like what factory pipe sends with a b pipe? An assortment of colors to choose from would be nice as well. You know, even if it doesn't run well, it might as well look good! Sorry about the technical terms "pinchable clips" I don't know what they are called!

There called Oetiker clamps and they can be purchased on fleBay, you will need the 17C or 3/8 hose size.

The cheapest hose is airline hose - same spec but MUCH cheaper and in lots of colours!

Do you like how it looks in yellow?!!

Fastenal.com has air/water hose in multiple colors.

thanks guys, oooh the pretty colors! and thanks for the education.

As much as you want to go with the Oetikers, don't as you cannot simply remove them as needed for adjustments.

how many feet of hose do you need to install a b pipe?

I need it to run all the cooling lines in "fresh" line, also changing up color. So if not airline, is there a popular manufacturer that everyone uses for water line? Would also like to replace my gas line and I like the look of superjetjim's. I've heard that it has to be a certain spec., anyone know for a 38 mikuni?

I just found some line at lowes I used, it was like 60 cents a foot. Its clear and it reinforced with what looks like meshing. Kurtwolf has it on his ski, its where I got the idea. Oh yeah, it was in the plumbing section, I wish I could tell you what it was, and I used hose clamps cause I dont have any patience for the other clips.
