I've been thinking of using aquarium pump tubing along with (maybe)
1x1 plates with Side Rotated Studs as mounts, and see how that works
(I'd try slicing holes at appropriate points in the tubes).  I
couldn't decide if using such a foreign substance would break the Coda
of LEGO or not.  As it turns out, the idea comes up for me a lot, but
I have yet to actually try to implement it.  I fear that tubing with a
large enough inner diameter to fit around that element would have too
large an outer diameter for LEGO hubs (notably, 2x2 hubs) to proper
grip.


Another (all Lego) Option would be to use the Technic Pneumatic Tubing or
that new Corrugated Tube that's used in a lot of the new Technic models.

The advantage of this is that:
It's all Lego.
The disadvantage is that :
It's all Lego (and therefore way more expensive)
