So when checking references there are these round loop hooks under the AB212 that the kit didn't have and I really wanted to replicate, Tried many different things like wire, hose, sprue etc, and nothing worked, I was about to give up on the idea when I picked up a cotton bud and may have pushed a bit too hard in my ear and activated my brain because I figured it out - The humble cotton bud was the answer - I obviously used a new one and cut the pipe of it - and it was perfect. Cut them, glued a square piece of sprue to it and hooks we had - think they turned out Ok.
