try again looking for "silicone" .....Silicon is hard and brittle, they make transistors and compoter ships out of it......Silicone is an oxidised variant of silicon, ..it the rubbery stuff that wonder products are made of...everthing from hoses and seals, to lubricants, to fake *****!

I did see some silicone hose kits on eBay last month, many listings from same vendor, so might still be there. There were many different sizes of hose , and diameter adapters, there may have been curves too, but don't recall specifically. Good luck

While they might not have it listed on their web site - Xtreme Motorsports has it, it's around $500 for the entire kit. They are a forum vendor.
