What about the orange flexible wire wound stuff used on aircraft, try
aircraft spruce on the web to get a proper description, comes in a few

won't kink and comes in fairly big sizes.

Have a look at http://www.sisweb.com/vacuum/sis/rollflex.htm , it may be

Another good resource of hose seems to be
