I had a pic of the pipe stuck in the tube's showing how they expanded, but I didn't get that pic posted.
Cheers Steve,

I may try this too, but if there is room to "slashcut" the new hoses I may do that to increase the size of "scoop" to force more air in. I was wondering if they did Adhesive heat shrink tubing in that size as that may make thing easier to join the pip together.

I would be interested to know how much difference it makes when you have a "comparable" day to test it on.

Si
