ThreePointFive Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hi all, I am looking for pipe that I can use to replace my snorkel's ducting under the bonnet, at the moment there is some kind of canvas-like material ribbed ducting that is looking tired. I was advised a smooth inner surface is better. What kind of tubing should I go for and where can you buy it? B&Q, Wickes, Homebase etc don't sell anything stand-alone which is of the required dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
