You'd be better advised to post your personal email address and handle it that way. My email address is
[email protected] if you need it. I'd be interested in a set. Gray would be my preference. You've probably already done so, but I'd see if I could get a sample of what the gentleman might be talking about (rubber-wise). If you want a piece for a color sample, please contact me via email and give me your postal address. As far as collapsing at the bends, that can be overcome by pulling through a couple of 1 foot pieces of 3/8 inch rope spaced where the bends are...or what we used to do was get a common 3/8" OD screen door spring, cut it in half and pull each piece through until you get to where the bends are. That will make it turn a bend real nicely as there is no way that spring will collapse nor deform.
