Where to get a short section of 28mm Silicone Flex hose ??

Hi all,

Ive got a little problem with my new radiator install, in that ive not got room to fit a 28mm to 32mm reducer at the bottom of the rad, to then onward connect to the rest of the car. (the car is all in 32mm but the radiator has 28mm fittings).

Does anyone know where i can get a small 8inch section of ID 28mm flexible silicone pipe and a small bit of OD 28mm tube to use as a connector ?

All the ebay sales are for 1 meter, which i am a bit loathed to buy as i only need a small section (as its quite expensive stuff).

Cheers
Tris

i know its not 8 iches long, but can you do anything with one of the coupling hoses? or if it needs a bend, how about a 45 degree bend? you can always cut the bend out, should give you a bit about 4" long?

It needs to bend about 20-30degrees unfortunately, so ideally i was after some flex. Its just so dam expensive (£30)

I have found an alloy coupling on ebay just, so thats sorted. Just need to find a short length of flex now.
