Fluidyne C3000 skis: hydraulic hose type and manufacturer?

Post by karia »

Hi all

Would someone know the type and the manufacturer of the hydraulic hoses used in Federal/Fluidyne C3000 skis?
Also specifications of the hoses would be nice.

I already asked Wipaire, but they just answered, they will make and deliver the complete assemblies.
However, the fittings seems to be reusable, so I would need a couple of feets hose only which might be found also from here in Finland.

Thank you in advance, if someone can help.
