Considering how large the Dia is about £20 sounds right for a decent bit of hose

johnny, thats for a reducer pipe that has the perfect size on both ends. just so happens its almost the perfect length too (about 1cm too short, but then it doesnt matter as you merely move everything over by 1cm... lol its not bolted to anything.)

SFS quoted me £18 for the same hose, but in a 1metre length so i could cut it down to the perfect size...

It fits real well

just had a call from said company, aparently he got the wrong end of the stick... that 85quid was a quote for a 2foot length of said hose (altho i can understand why i'd want 2ft of it, of how you cah get a 2ft long reducer ) and he'll be getting back to me with a price for what i actually want (well, wanted urgently 2 1/2 weeks ago ) tomorrow

nice one mate

give us a bell if you get stuck with the wiring... mine was a right pain in the arse

also you might wanna email that TFS guy and ask him about setting it up and bottle refils... could even pop down with me on sunday (gravesend) if you wanna check out the setup etc. etc. and how cool it feels on "proper" jets :P

IIRC he's 3.80 per lb (which aparently is cheap)

also he sets cars up for the price of parts (he'll know what jets to use after he does mine anyway)
