is aware of a material that could be bonded to the cowl overlapping the plenum 
intake nozzles that is flexible and has reasonably good memory properties and 
that would provide a snug connection to the cowl nozzles yet able to give when 
the engine shakes. It could be a hard material that is bendable or something 
that is stretchable like some kind of rubber or neoprene. < < < 
  
One of my friends had a similar problem with his air intake. He came up with a 
very elegant solution : he made all the 'hosing' in glass but in spite of 
epoxy as a matrix binder he used ordinary RTV silicone, forced into the glass 
with a rubber squeegee. in a few hours he had the best custom made hose for 
his purpose, very flexible and very tight.
