Hi guys,
Should have posted this here, I'm thinking. Trying to find a quick/easy fix on a '93 Shark 9000 as I got one near complete for a great deal, plus had most of the pieces to complete it to 99%. Been hunting for this one for a long time as really like the watercraft and stickers were perfect, so couldn't pass on it just for lack of this piece. Though it's the one piece I think will never pop up or would be anything I would be willing to spent an arm/leg for, is the water cannon hose. So my question is does anyone know of anything (size & etc.) that would play a good/great stand in for display? Dimensions of this piece would be great too, if I can find something to make one for it. Any help would be greatly appreciate. momaw nadon |

Having never seen this vehicle in person, I wouldn't know the diameters but what about windshield washer hose? You can pick that up at any auto parts store.

I hollowed out a USB device cable once for a Frag-Viper's grenade tube. Not sure how close that water hose is in size, but it might be worth a try if you've got any junk devices lying around.

Thanks for those ideas guys. It got me thinking about trying to see if some garden drip line might work too. Guess now all I would need is some dimensions to see if any of that would be close. Then again, I have never seen one in hand, so maybe just about anything would be a stand-in in my opinion.

i put a caliper to mine and it mic's out at 3mm and i'd say about 6" long. i know my local mom and pop hardware store has tubing you can cut to length. you may try home depot or something like that.

Thanks for the dimensions. That will be a big help. Guess my next run to the hardware store will be to see if there is anything around that size, as haven't been able to find anything in my misc wire bin.
