Would a flexi hose suffice? just a rad hose thats ribbed and can be manipulated to any shape, all retailers sell them.

Yep a flexi hose is what you want, go see repco etc.

Same price roughly as a normal one.

I wouldn't think it's that expensive. I've had braided lines made for me before but that was at a place out in Otahuh/Ellerslie. (Can't remember which one)

I suspect you'd be looking at around 200$ for a Radiator one depending on the lenght.

Hey look at it this way...you'll have some bling shiny bits to impress the be-aches with!!! 8)

just go to super cheap and have a look at what they have there.

and then get some pipe with the same ID as the hoses OD and some hose clips.

how long you needing it?
