    Looks like it is not to be. Racism is a beach.

    I just ordered my silicone tubing so I am going to try this and see how it goes. Im pulling apart my whole interior anyway to replace the carpet that the old owner spilled paint on so this will just add to my interior projects. I also ordered the 5mm punch to see how it works out. I will post results and try to record the process for my youtube channel.

    for what it is worth, the "NewPriusBatteries" cylindrical replacement cell kits from user 2k1Toaster do not have any tubing whatsoever. Part of the installation process is to remove the original prismatic cell tubing.
