In that case what about some blue water pipe, it's thicker walled so will take longer to wear through on the bends but is more flexible than waste pipe so won't need joints to get up to the winch. Comes in 25mm id which should be big enough and you can get bulkhead fittings for the firewall.

Sorry if this is a silly suggestion, but what about running the tube along the chassis under the body so that it never has to enter the body? Or would that make it too low if kept straight?

This is all getting beyond my skill level

I'm working at home in my garage... ok, I've got a pipe bender,decent mig welder, big pillar drill, chop saw and "Mr. Angry" my trusty angle grinder... but I'm just a bobbyist making things up as I go along....

I wasn't anticipating these constructive comments, I'm having to re-think it all now, even though I've started and the materials are ordered

Sorry. I wasn't wanting to make it difficult for you just making some observations I hoped might offer a different view. It's your buggy you must be happy with it and not just build what some random farmer says via the internet.

Sounds like every car or home DIY project I've ever done Dave, except you're much better equipped

We're just interested in your ingenuity, but you'll have to forgive us chipping in every now and then. But don't feel you have to justify your thoughts around any suggestion, it's your project
