Default silicon breather hose? where from what lengths?

can you get silicon hose for breathers in decent length quantities?

Normal silicone hose is no good for oil breather applications you need the stuff with an oil resistant liner fitted so it's a bit more expensive.

I can do you a custom breather built to your spec for less than what you'd pay for a standard jobbie ,

i also stock silicone hose in red and blue , various diameters , 8mm - 32mm 1 meter lengths .
