Jim B Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Nice looking ALF. All you need are hoses for the hose bed, and your set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Nice weathering on the tyres. Maybe shoelaces for hoses. Ben Edited September 28, 2012 by Bennyg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Shoelaces would be incorrect as they are generally too thick, and make you truck look like it's haulung, well, shoelaces. To replocate cotton jacketed hose, I've had good luck using braided elastic (used to make waitbands & cuffs tight. Check Jo-Anns or Michael's). For the newer synthetic hoses, I've seen yellow tape used quite effictively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Michael's & JoAnn Fabrics are large, chain craft stores here in the US (and Canada, too, I think). I'm sure you have something similar in the UK. The braided elastic is in the sewing section, but like I said, it's too "old" for this truck. I found a tutorial on making newer style hoses. I'll see if I can find it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Thanks jim any luck finding that tutorial Doobie Unfortunately, no. But I did find some references to making newer style hoses. He used yellow 3M tape. The person tri-folded it so the seam was in the middle, then he layed it in the hose bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
