Silicone rubber air bridge sources??

Thought I'd throw this out there before I shell out $40-50 for one of these from a catalog.

Has anybody found a source for the short rubber adapter hose used to replace the "accordian" stock piece between the air bridge and the MAF inlet? I've been all over the Net looking and haven't been able to locate one. Seems like a great idea for a group purchase; buy about 50 feet of the stuff and then sell the individual pieces for a reasonable (lower) price.

Thanks! :seeya

Mine came with the carbon fiber air bridge that I got from LAPD. I figure if I'm going to replace the tubing I may as well open up the air bridge for better flow also.

Lots of Ford stuff at the Cartech site, but they look like they know what they're doing. Didn't see the item in question; the goal here is not to buy the individual silicone rubber pieces @ $50 a pop, but to find a source for the hose in bulk and be able to get the item cost down to something reasonable.

Thanks fo the info. :)
