Not really a design though is it, design a 2 piece pipe, oh it leaks, jam some hose and clamps on it :)

Might as well have sprayed your v1 black.

post up pics.  The hose is meant to be tight I just used a bit of 2 stroke around the fat bit and forced it on.

Use a tea spoon handle to lever it on, try and find a flat one if you can.

Get it boiling on the stove in some hot water that will soon soften the pesky tube :)
