Less than Impressed by the kit's effort at re-creating these parts.
Even if you get them to fit, the steering is then immovable because the parts are so rigid Oh!... and theres a bloody great seam down the middle.
My solution... a large 'flexible' straw. It can be bent to shape and the straws I got were a perfect push-on fit.

I hope the conduit works well.
I'd considered that but wondered if it would be flexible enough.
The diameter you've ordered sounds about 'bang-on'.

Flexible conduit non-split made out of nylon
Internal diameter 9mm
Fits like a glove and as flexible as a rubber band
I ordered a 1 meter length of eBay uk at a cost of £3:00
Hope this helps you all
Thanks
