Air Filter and Tubes/Hoses

[paul.deitch]

Just had a very satisfying day doing all those small jobs including getting the driver's window to move at a reasonable speed (cable from door to motor was shot) and oiling the door hinges to stop the creaks.

Apart from a few paint scratch repairs from last year's "Blow The Doors Off" trip the only thing I need to sort out is the air filter and those large hoses/tubes.

Would appreciate some recommended part nos. and suppliers.

The air filter is Pipercross and TVR car parts can supply or sometimes available on eBay. Hoses are another question, i dont think anyone has identified the source of them but mep12345 had got some which would do the job

Air filter.... clicky

Could try somewhere like "Car builder Solutions" for flex ducting, or others have used a combination of silicone hoses and stainless or alluminiun tubing.

If using some sort of flexible ducting aim for as smooth an inside bore as possible, the "ribs" in normal flex stuff play havoc with air flow.

(I'm presuming, but may be wrong, the originals are no longer available?)

If you mean the pipes from the AFM to the plenum, have a look at what Jaye did.

if you mean the pipes from the front of the bonnet to the heater, consider scrapping them.
