1/8 radiator hose

[my80malibu]

I am building A Big T. And after looking at the kit supplied radiator hose, the inside dimension is way smaller than the outside hose dimensions on the mounting points. I need to find a better alternative to that. Does anyone have an of what would fit better?

Make it whatever size you need.

Insulation stripped off of 12 or 10 gage black wire might be a good approximation.

Radio Shack often has various diameters of black heat-shrink tubing (at least they did when they still catered to clients who built and repaired electronics....now they seem to be more of a toy and phone store). A real electronics shop could set you up.

I don't have any to look at and measure right now, but I've used smaller-diameter plastic flex-straws to simulate ribbed hose on some larger scale models. Painted black of course.

1/8 scale hose is pretty sizable. Check out the bulk wire section at the hardware store.

And yep, Radio Shack is kind of a joke anymore. lol.
