    Place for silicone couplers?

    I remember someone asking this a long time ago... and it's some truck/semi supply store somewhere, what's that place called?

    Any other places or shops (C&S/Topstreet/etc.) sell them now?

    I bought some at the Freight Liner joint on 94&Ryan Rd

    Its not the thin pretty kind of hose. Its the thick black 'stop a bullet' kind. Uber cheap though.

    Not local, but google popped these up.

    They are expensive as hell, but they are also VERY high quality silicone adaptors. I've got several of them on my car. Scan for the key word of silicone from the main screen.

    I saw thin/pretty silicone couplers and t-bar clamps at AUTOZONE this morning. Go figure.

    Were they the good 4 or 5 layer reinforced silicone or cheap shit like their vacuum lines?

    They looked decent and priced under $10.
