yes this is a water pipe type tube that I used. The foam that I am using is Great Stuff it may not be some peoples first choice but it has always worked perfect for me ( the only problem I have experienced is holes from bubbles that have to be refilled after it cures). It's easy to use, trim, sand, cover and is very durable. I don't have pics of the inside yet but the tube comes out the side beside the console location.
Digitalvet, it is 14 gauge as far as number of strands i'm not sure it's "very" fine strands. this wire is very flexible almost rubber feeling which makes it easier to pull through. I didn't really preload it, I had pulled it through to make sure i would be able to get it through later I attached steel wire and pulled that back through ( hand soap made it easy pull and won't be an issue when I paint).
thanks billy
