After all of the emails I have seen talking about how difficult it is
to install the air tubes (pipe, ducts, trunks) and how delicate they
are one question comes to mind...

If I decide originality is not an issue for me, is their something
better or at least more practical that I can use?

I have original style set I can use, but could pass on them if I want
too. Somewhere, I have an aviation catalog that I remember that sells
air pipes by the foot.  Is newer, better?  Is anyone very happy with a
replacement they are using?

Also, if I stay with the originals (how's that for schizophrenia!!),
Moss shows that the BN4 uses the metal band hose clips for the 4" tube
(326-360) and the wire clips for the 3 1/4" tube  (326-485).  Is it
right that they would use different types?

Thanks 

Patton
