Flexible hose - 68mm internal diameter

[Vet Tech]

I'm looking for a piece flexible hose/pipe to connect to standard 68mm O/D rainwater downpipe. Length about 6 inches.

Can anyone suggest a likely source of anything suitable or something that can be modified to suit?

Old fire hose must be pretty close. Know any fire fighters?

If you've got a scrap yard near you and the time to grub around you would probably find that size of hose on light commercials such as Transits; it would be the top radiator hose.

What about that concertina stuff they put up flues? I've got a bit in a filing cabinet in the garden shed, I thought might come in handy one day. Sounds like such might be bodgeable for you.

Otherwise: tractor tyre inner tube - also v useful for making giant rubber bands. We used to cut up loads in a place I used to work, but I never did enquire where they got the old tubes.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Cicero saying something like:

That's 2 3/4" - more like a truck size.

Air intakes are often that sort of size.

Industrial/farm vacuum cleaner hose. However, we have just had a long thread on the difficulties met making waterproof in with corrugated hose.
