That does save you about $9, so I guess they *are* doing you a favor. And they're doing themselves a favor - the 'fiche at the local dealer says that you need something like 288mm, and you can get 17 of those from a 5m coil of hose. $340 (less shipping and $20 (they're likely cost)) is a pretty good return. If I devide my cost (plus tax), throw in a "Priority Mail" envelope for $2.90, and charge $5.00, I still make a few cents to cover my troubles. The postage costs more than the product. I'll let you know when it comes in...
