Question

Anyone know what sort of hosing is best for a boost gauge? Should it be the rubbery stuff, or more rigid plastic or even the clear stuff that you see in aquariums etc (as I've got some of this already!)

Tried Halfords/Homebase etc for some hosing but the only stuff they had was the clear - so I bought it anyway, but thought I'd double check before fitting it. If it's not ideal, where can I get the proper stuff?

Needs to be rigid walled pressure hosing capable of taking both partial vacuum and positive pressure.

The clear stuff is plastic and will harden with age and crack.
