N.Wood Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 So how did you poke the end of the hose through the holes? Usually they have a small internal tube that means you slide the hose in and it comes out the other side easy.Looks sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
