Steve, do you have any telephone wire laying around, if so the wire is about right for mu hoses, after you strip it. Then just bat the end flat alittle to simulate a gladhand. Elcheapo way to make them. They are not flexible but they will hold your shape you make them. Good luck.

See the MU hoses on this page:

Air hoses and MU hose clusters here:

They're easy to install and look great.

Steve,
I forgot to add don't glue them in place so that when you can afford the right ones, you can remove and replace. The Details West clusters are the best, those units would need the 4 hose clusters when money permits and they will cover up the old holes. Sorry I didn't add this earlier, hope it not too late.
