Check it out! I used nylon so it's super tough. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.northamericanmotoring.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/80-image_18c845a5adfff403f9ccedc70329f702d7bd4236.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.northamericanmotoring.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/80-image_5cf90ebbde176e2b3492b438d71cb80947ffc081.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.northamericanmotoring.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/80-image_8719bf2deb0459420a0b23eb5922b2da5f43645e.jpeg

I made it a press fit and I was planning on using silicone and a hose clamp as well.

I'm thinking out loud now but 3 small screws would probably work as well?

I like what you have done there. I'd be wanting to make sure it was held on well. It is a better looking solution than our lump of metal we stuck in the original hose about 4" long.

Good stuff. :-)

Heck, for a few cents you could use a few zip ties to secure it. Let me know how it works for you. If successful, would you be willing to make me one?
