It has no fabric reinforcement inside it. The top end was stretched to fit over the upper nipple. I think my hardware store might have something in a clear plastic that would work. Should I look? Your solution might be fine, but it will probably be a little more likely to catch debris and plug up. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
