Or, cut the hole out and slice it with a section of rubber hose and clamps.
I was thinking that cutting the pipe and have a rubber hose clamped in between the two halves of the pipe would be an option. I thought I could just slide a rubber hose or sleeve over the section with the hole and clamp that, but that darn bracket won't allow for that and the hose and the pipe are made together with a band. I guess I could essentially cut the band off, which would allow me to remove the pipe, slide a rubber sleeve over the hole and clamp, then clamp the pipe back into the original hose. Lots of clamps to fail though. Cutting the pipe and clamping in a section of hose uses less clamps. [emoji38] [emoji1787]
