V8S Intake Hose - anyone know if they are avaiable?

[v8s4me]

Does anyone know if the short flexible hose from the plenum to the AFM is avaialble from anywhere? I've tried ACT & Neil. Thanks. Joe

Just check the dims (and a bit harsh in the £ dept).

Have a look in here - I haven't got round to sorting it yet but beware I think the two connectors are different diameters.

V8S is near straight and concertina'd to cope with removal / application and slight angle.

Thanks for trying though

Hi Joe,

I replaced mine with a straight silicone reducer. It was like this:



It's now like this:



But as you can see I also made an aluminium adaptor plate to align the AFM with the plenum inlet. I used an 80mm to 76mm reducer 125mm long.

Yes, thanks for trying. The concertina also allows for some lateral movement of the engine and stops vibration being transmitted to the AFM.
