Title: how to fabricate custom silicone hoses
Post by: Moderator on January 28, 2015, 02:50:04 PM
My friend needs a custom hose for his hot-rodded Ducati. He could pay to have one made. We'd prefer to learn how to make one ourselves. Do you guys have any knowledge of silicone hose fabrication? Tips? Tricks? Advice about procuring the materials?

BTW, here's a terrific video that shows how the pros do it:

(I'm thinking that someone somewhere must surely sell the unvulcanized fabric-reinforced silicone sheet, ready to be wrapped into tube shape.)

Can't imagine how these guys make a profit making hoses this way. Definitely not a DIY project
