Rigid pvc but that is heat formed so no good to try and directly replace. Semi rigid pvc would probably work. Tons of it on ebay

Just to add to this I have also used the tube that comes with new batterys, not the crap floppy cheap 5h1te ones they come with now thoigh, the proper semi stiff tube, this has worked well too

I've used soft silicone tubing on my GT550 SRIS lines.
