[Spridgets] Silicone hoses

[Weslake1330]

Hi David,

Yes list, David is the man who got this all started and he still owns the
tooling to the vertical flow Spridget hoses and the heater question mark
hose.  I own the tooling for the 2 crossflow hoses (the third hose is a
standard part).

Regards


Daniel
