Basically i'm looking to install the 5 air horns i have in the rear subframe area and hide the compressor away in my boot. The problem i can see is that the air pipe won't be long enough to get to the horns from the compressor. Therefore i need to by some more pipe from somewhere. Have searched but i can't seem to find it. Anyone know where i can get it. Thanks.

Find your local pneumatics dealer and they'll have some. At a guess it will be 8mm polyurethane tubing. Measure the internal and external dimensions and finding some will be easy.

While we're on the subject of tubes - if I want to fit a vacuum gauge (and let's assume that I do!), what pipe can I use from a T-Piece to the gauge?
I'll want a quite a lot as the gauge is in the central console at the moment.
