I still can't understand how a guy could just decide that a half-mile wasn't a long enough distance to tie something that heavy down. Would have been a serious problem to him if it fell off the trailer and onto someone else's car, for example.
The hose has 90mm ID on 1 end and 85mm on the other 1 90° bend and 1 15° bend 3 layers of nylon braid then had to be warmed in boiling water for 20 minutes to be able to push the ends over the nipples then clamped on. I came very close to just making a steel tube then using short pieces of hose for the connections but with the limited access to the area without having to pull the engine it was cheaper to just buy the hose and be done with it the clamps were $35.00 each
