Question custom, silicone upper and lower AOS vent lines

This past weekend, I was working on tracking down a vacuum leak on my Boxster (it's throwing a P0492 code) and cracked the AOS lower vent/breather line/hose. After searching (scouring) the web, I realized that no one makes replacement silicone hoses for this application. Researching how silicone hoses are made I came to understand that it is hugely labor intensive and does not make economic sense for small orders.

I am considering starting a group buy or going it alone and ordering a large quantity of lower vent hoses. I wanted to gauge interest before entering into something like this. I also wanted to know if buyers would prefer hoses with "bare" ends, that installers could clamp using their own, preferred method or if I should try investigate integrating a Porsche style clamp on the ends of the hose.

Admins, if this needs to be moved somewhere other than General Discussions, could you do that for me? Thanks
