OK people, I finally got a supplier for the hard pipes.
I’ve got a number of different kits lined up from just replacing the cloth piping to replacing all the stock pipes. We don’t have a final price yet because they still have to send me the shipping charges, but they will definitely be cheaper than one hard pipe from TEP and they have it in stock. So if anybody is interested E-mail or PM me with a brief description of what you would like and I will let you know when we are placing the order.
Mike
