Also, rest of the TD stuff ordered, even the boost pipe (yes the £100 one! won't be £100 in silicone though)

Parts will be photo'd and uploaded to webshop soon.

Could you get some of the syncro air box to cyclone filter connectors made up Simon. They seem to have been mabe of some crumbly rubber originaly.

Agreed, i looked at mine recently.

What a state! they seem to have suffered over years quite badly huh.

Send me one to look at.

...or the tube that goes from the air filter to the intake ducting up the rear pillar and even the flexi pipe from the turbo cooling fan behind the n/s rear light

All the silicone I have is now on the webshop.
Enter SP1062 into the search to see the range.
I'm sure the cyclone one is the one Aidan was on about the other day that can be done with a "Hump" hose.
And, I'm sure the one from the JX air box, the baffled one can be made from a straight piece.
I get a sensible discount from SFS so if you know what you want it maybe worth a e-mail to me to see if I can do a deal.

Ok I'll take mine off and send it to you tomorrow, cheers.

Yes the old hump hose on petrols between the cyclone (626A) and the air box does perish, usually on the bottom out of sight and then you find out when you go wading, filthy air filter is a clue. Mr Silicone on ebay does a 65mm hump hose that is fine except it is too long so you have to shorten it yourself, it's about £15 inc postage depending on sale etc...

Ahhh, thats the one i meant actually!

I can only see 63mm on there Aidan, but the original one is 65mm, it that the one you mean and it will strech to fit?

std samco ones go 60, 63, 70.

If you have it in your hand (trying desparatley not to add any inuendo here) measure it up, or take a picture, or both infact and send it on and I can see how much SFS are going to rush me for them.
Thing is, I've spent a f*ck load on tooling and at the moment they are my friends, meaning that I can get them cut to size all nice and neat saving you the hassle. Cutting silicone hose can be a pain in the ring.

I just had a quick nose at their webshop, I think I can do them for about a tenner plus VAT.

Automotive hose cutting jigs are what I used to get paid to make until production was shipped to Europe
Mainly for the braided rubber ones as they came off the mandrels too long
3D built up inspection gauges for the QC department as well

Carry on

sorry for the delay,

dimensions are not clear on the photos but they are; 65mm internal, total length 80mm
