Yeah these would work for me if I could get different lengths.... But that's how I ended up just buying some pipe and a beading tool in the end....
Fortunately the local O'reilly's car parts place carries Gates water hose which is good stuff, so I can use that to manufacture my tubes.
The $60/meter 17mm hose for the water tubes on the engine is also just Gates heater hose, but it's in 17mm which to my knowledge is not available in the US _except_ through Rotax dealers. I think that's why it's so expensive - goes from Gates to Europe, then through Rotax then back here through their dealers.... Lots of markup there......
I've been considering replumbing the water hoses on the engine when I break it open to replace the radiator hoses but inspecting them now they're still in such good condition I might just go "on condition" instead on those. They're still pliable and no cracks or deterioration so seems excessive to replace them all. I'll make a much closer inspection of the tubes with a magnifying glass etc when I break it open for the radiator hoses, but it may be a ain't-broke-yet-so-don't-fix-it on the water tubes....
