Have to admit stolen these pictures from another forum but in any case pretty nice handcrafting. Think this will take a few hours to get the job done.

That's pretty amazing although a little crazy, it would be a bit more practical (and worth it longer term) on a Hypalon SIB - those Suzumars have pretty thin material PVC tubes.
