Does anyone have a line on where to get the breather hose tubing that WDK uses? I'm currently using pool vacuum hose tubing that is 1/4-1/2" less in diameter than what I need. I cut a 1" section and split it down one side to wrap around the breather tubing to take up the extra volume but it is not a clean look and the silicone is already seperating from the I siliconed the hell out of it but the seal is not as good as I'd like. I've searched both Lowe's and Home Depot.

Bulk black vacuum tube from lowes or home depot. Cheap, flexible and lightweight.
Edit: either you changed it or i can't read the last bit about lowes.
I came across one of the glue in inserts i got from blowsion with their breather kit. You may ne able to glue it in the larger hole so the tube you have now will work better. I only have one left but you are welcome to it if you need.
I have come across a wide selection of vac hoses in a random hardware store before so maybe try some smaller out of the way farm supply stores...
What size is the hole you have drilled now?

Boyer,
Sorry, I forgot to get back with u about a Thanksgiving ride. I'll put the word out with the boys and see what's up. I wouldn't mind a Saturday or Sunday ride.
I'm using the blue and black pool vacuum hose from Home Depot. It's their largest diameter and it's a bit small. I need the fat bulky hose WDK uses or a similar product. You got a pic of the black hose ur using?

Its the same stuff that comes with standard shop vacs and available in lots of sizes 1" up to 3".
I'm browsing on my phone so i can't post a pic but if you browse my build thread, i may have pics posted of the hood that show the tube I used.

Crabber...Yeah that's it. I had a great experience with Jeff on my one and only transaction with him. I bought a Razor hood/nose piece when they were a brand new item. I ordered over the phone and got it in like 10 days. At the time I really didn't know the deal with WDK and have considered myself extremely lucky. He treated me well and sent me a nice product. No complaints here, but I'm not going down the path with any other products...even $25 dollar ones. I hope he does well.

The tubes I got from Tom21 are much larger in diameter than the home depot ones. Might contact him

My wifes ski has a diablo hood with those larger tubes so i will compare tonight to see if the adapter will fit and see if the tubes I have will fit as well.

At ace home hardware now and the biggest they carry is 1-1/2"
Snapped some quick pics of my tubes and the adapter. My tubes appear to be at least 2-1/4" OD. My wifes ski is out in the trailer so I can't snap pics of it tonight.
The adapter looks like it will fit into a 2-1/2" hole and take a 2" breather tube.

I can get 1 1/2" - 2" Vacuum hose in all kinds of colors (solid or 2 tone) from any of my car wash suppliers. You might look at car wash suppliers or just go to a wash in your neighborhood and steal the hose, every one else always steals mine from my locations!
