    Keller Speedo tubing

    Need to extend the hose on my keller speedo. Anyone know of a recommneded tubing to use? would like to replace it with a single length of tubing. Looks like Keller folks only sel lit in 10' lengths.

    Thanks

    Go to any hydraulic or hose and rubber supplier. There is nothing specific about it, the tubing just carries perssure. Just make sure it doesn't expand any, as it slows speedo response. I used clear Tygon tubing once. Looked cool but the speedo lagged so bad I replaced it with hard rubber hose.

    I use the solid nylon tubing used for pneumatic systems. Looks just like the stuff that comes with just about every mechanical speedo out there ... costs a few bucks for 100 feet. Can't bend super tight radius, but its darned cheap. Wish I knew what to do with the other 80 feet
