| Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Add 2 Part 78c07 Red Hose, Ribbed 7mm D. 7L (Counterpart)
* Change 2 Part Dark Bluish Gray {2739 Technic, Link 1 x 6 - (MARKED FOR DELETION - Undetermined Inner Ring Ends Version) to 2739b Technic, Link 1 x 6 with Stoppers}
Comments from Submitter:
Source: MISB-based set that was never mixed with other bricks. My set has link with stoppers. I'm also adding two counterparts, because the instructions instructs the user to cut the hose in two halves (page 63). I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do it on BrickLink, but any used set would most likely never include a 14L hose, but two 7L hoses. As previously discussed for another set, it's my belief that the 2L hoses are PLG, not flat silver. They seem to have the same color as the bionicle teeth which are PLG in this set. But a change of this is likely to be rejected, I'll not do it here but only leave my thoughts on it.

Why would you say it would be rejected? I would be more than happy to look into
this before making any determination.
Could you post a picture of the hoses from this set next to the Bionicle teeth
from this set? I may not be considered one of the resident color experts, but
I do know my LEGO colors quite well. In the meantime, I will search the intertubes
for other data points.
Cheers,
Randy

Because the last time I discussed this regarding the color of hoses, we never
came to an agreeement. The admin would rather base the BL inventory on an official
TLG product photo than on actually bricks found in a lot of bricks where the
hoses could only have come from the particular set in question (matching both
length and "twistedness"). One of the last things that were written were "Further,
there is some debate over whether PLG and flat silver are officially different
colors or merely variations in what TLG intended to be the same color." So I
chose to stop the discussion there rather than wasting everybody's time.
Here's a link to the discussion:
https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=234514
Anyway, I have to withdraw my claim in this thread, because I just compared with
Flat Silver hoses in my stock and PLG hoses from set 8637 (I still claim that
these are PLG) and the two hoses from this are definitely Flat Silver, not PLG.
So no change there, please.

We do intend to address the issue of the differences between these colors when
we launch the project on colors. It is possible that pearl light gray and flat
silver will be combined into a single color, but we can discuss it further at
that time.
Until then, I see (and saw) little point in changing PLG parts to flat silver
parts and vice versa. If we combine the colors, then it's just a waste of
time to do inventory changing now from either color to the other.

I would never base any decisions on official set photos. They are notorious for
being wrong in many instances.

No problem. However, I did find evidence from many unboxings of this set that
the hoses - in this set, at least - could be either the lighter PLG or the darker
Flat Silver.
