It's long in the middle. I'm not taking apart a new hose assy to hack it off so it can leak right out of the gate, and that's the only way that could work out.

Lots of rain and hail here all spring and summer, but no so far this week. *knocks wood*

Then don't hack, take a little from both ends.

Nah...you're probably right in that situation CO.

It's just this feller here. Can't beat it for the money, but there are definitely better available: https://amzn.to/44g0TbN

My lower hose is that octopus thing.... I seem to remember just throwing that on, and the upper with no cutting. But I always have to cut Fox Body hoses.

Mine is the three- way octopus. The line to the overflow is also too long. Its just unacceptable for a new hose assy, frankly. Were it the upper, trimming would be a little more realistic.

In fact... even my lower on the Expy went right on. I do know for a fact I used Goodyear hoses though. Not Gates.

Very much so. How does he do that?

Seems like there should be a gadget to help hold and control the camera better. Biggest problem...fumbling the ball and....pressing buttons while attempting to recover.
