mikec Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I'm after some air intake hose, the only stuff I can find is the neoprene stuff or the silicon coated stuff, anyone used either, is it any good? After some 80mm and 96mm. Cheers mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The stuff I've used is a 'Thermoplastic, rubber coated polyester fabric' Temp rated for up to 150*, ozone, acid and solvent resistant and is a proper suction hose with a wire coil through it. It was cheap as chips for 2m nine years ago direct from the manufacturer, who makes industrial ducting. It has lasted all those years in the Deefer engine bay without failure. The car parts places wanted a small fortune for duct, so do what I did and google for 'industrial ducting suppliers'. I'm half a world away so it's pretty useless me giving you the details of the company I used. FWIW the stuff I used is 82mm ID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 but at least we can see what it looks like & the company may have a European or UK distributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut the restrictive outlet of the Safari snorkel off too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
