After something Bob said about plastic going hard and brittle....I changed my mind and gone for metal tubes between hoses where needed and in my usual fashion.....a rummage around the shed finds me a skeleton of one of those rotary air dryers that the missus condemned to the council tip (not on your life pet) a quick measure of the central pole leaves it tiny bit small but well within what a jubly would squeeze, but just to make sure I cut a couple of strips of copper from a scrap bit o pipe....polish up with a bit o steel wool and solder them on to the ends of the tube to recreate a bead ....I might just polish these up a little and lacquer as is.
cooling system should be all sorted tomoz even got me a nice easy two pin rad stat although I think I will still run it via a relay to be on the safe side.....here are some piccies as usual
