Paul, Here are two 4-inch fiberglass tubes I made using 4" PVC pipe as molds. I did not use any squeeze technique, just wet lay-up with West System. The tubes are just the right size for the SCAT ducting. These are now installed in the front of the cowl as part of the engine cooling ducts. http://websites.expercraft.com/sidwood/images/151628683049616756461fe.jpg http://websites.expercraft.com/sidwood/images/213718205496168855003f.jpg
