    What kind of feeders? Batch ones orsingle point ones?
    The trouble is most of the simpler plastic ones are ad-lib feeders.

    Yeah, do you mean one of these "wet and dry" feeders? ( obviously without the water plumbed in)

    In that case, a 10 inch orange sewer pipe split in half, to make 40 foot of trough, would probably get me jail!
