op thanks for putting up the thread.

jhg41977 mine look a little worn I'll take some of your hands if you have it - I'd like enough to do both sides (of both flappers) would that be 4 pieces?

I have never hear of anyone removing the hard piping for an oil change - was that on this list? I just pull out the moulded rubber tube from the output of the flapper valve to the hard pipe - two clamps and its off.

cheers

Pm me your address and the length you need. I'll send them out tonight and then send you a total. PayPal is easiest for me. If you don't like it or don't have an account let me know and we can do something else

Two pieces are 45 mm long and the other two pieces are 80 mm long.

Actually this ducting is nothing like the OE silicone hose sections. This stuff is very very thin with a spiral wire throughout. Commonly used for brake cooling ducts. It might work though.

Edit: I have this exact stuff, same size, sitting in my basement, so I'll mail you a piece for free if you want. I really don't think it would be durable enough though.

I ordered new OEM bits for a lot less money than the $200 mentioned at the start of this thread. I could swear they were only like $30 each.
