That would be great!

flex-system tubing and the corrugated tubing 'are widely available in many
lengths'.  So should we make a single "Technic Flex Tube" piece, and a

part-files for making different lengths?

Maybe make them 120LDU long? That's the length of a 1x6 brick.

(...) I can do that, and post the results soon on lugned.cad.dat.parts. Note that you will not find any hoses that are exactly 120 LDU long: They normally come in somewhat "odd" lengths. As for the ribbed tube, the best way to find the length of one (...) (24 years ago, 2-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
