Lynn,
I don't know if it's a technical or cultural description - but I don't know
what a stink wheel is. Can I assume it's a thin metal cutting disk that's needed
to cut through the SS braid?
Good ideas coming out of this, which leads to thinking further on the
subject.

Just an AN rated stainless braid in a cloth cover. Probably Nitral lined.
Silicone lined might work as well. Very tough stuff. Cut with a stink wheel.
Shoved onto a smooth tube with a single hose clamp. You can park a truck on it
and it won't collapse. In light suction it is 100 times the hose needed to do
the job. You could also use many others to the same end. If it will
perform in hot oil, it will work. There is no mechanical stress as in a
pressure situation. We used the same piece of surplus hose in the Lotus for 4
years. No noticeable degradation. We were constantly letting in fresh air to
mix with the oil, and keep the track lubricated.
Those tubing bender kits provide many sizes of hose reinforcement for
using thin walled hose like bus heater hose for cooling and breathers. It
keeps the tight bends from kinking. Used it many times with different
hoses.

In "A "are you saying a silicone hose with s spring

concerned about is degradation from heat and oil as well as hose
collapse.
