I used ThinkAuto - this stuff is always expensive, but they're the cheapest.

fuel filler pipe
cheers folks...! Knew of these guys but thought it was expensive for some rubber tube! But I guess thats what it costs....
I've lot count of the money I've spent on the little bits....bolts, fibreglass, drills, rivets etc etc the list goes on and the cost
spirals up and up!!
Wheres te best place to buy stainless fasteners..
Cheers
Gerry

I got mine from demon-tweeks, im sure you can get it cheaper, but its ultra flexible, (basically a big spring with some plastic around it.)
It was £13 for 300mm, it did the bend between tank and filler with no problem.

What sort of bend ridius are we talking here ? My approximate dims between filler and tank are 6" across then 7" down. I just got some
'flexible' 57mm ID hose from Merlin for the bargain price of £26 plus VAT  that is next to no use, its flexible in that its not
rigid...ho hum. I could get a steel bend and use this stuff as joiner hose but Im a bit annoyed this is no good.
