Use a polyurethane foam!  Then they can take moulds  :D

Isn't that more expensive?  or does polyurethane offset the cost?

They are excellent for lieing on when working under a car even better than cardboard cause you can wipe em down an slide them round better.

that happened on my old red 16v, I managed to make up a top hose out of two generic ones from super cheap, it looked exactly the same as a factory one apart from the join in the middle and it only cost $40 instead of $300 or so ;)
