Braided Hose - the making of :D

Yesterday when I got home my 'copper braid' had arrived..... well the computer cable it insulated did lol. Following the idea from a fellow builder Astromecheadaches . I carefully cut the plastic tubing along it's length and then removed the cables. I then cut it to length 304.8mm and then taped it up and fed it back through the copper hose. The tape is to stop the tube from catching on the copper braid......which on my first attempt it did!

The hose was just the right length. The diameter isn't 12mm (1/2") but its a small price to pay.
Just need to buy 3 more!
