RE: [T3] paper air hoses....

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

The original paper tubes had a support on them which clamps under the large
steel flexible hot-air hose clamp.  That might work.

I tried to find a webpage for the big flexible pipes and found a page
linking to a Chinese factory which could make them to my spec.  How many
thousand do we need?  
My son is due to call in at Guangzhou soon on his world back-packing
adventure - maybe I could get him to pick a coil up from them!  ;-)

Okay, thanks. If it's the wall is that thick, isn't it quite heavy? 
I'd expect it to tend to fall off, or do you use the support in the middle.
