Air Intake Flexy Tubing

[MR LR]

Hi Everyone

We are currently finishing putting a new engine (Yamaha FZS 600 Fazer) in my dune buggy, however the demise of the old engine (Honda CB250) was due to dust inhalation, as it only had crappy pod filters on the carby's, the new motor will run the original air box, but i also want to make a Rasied Air intake, however i am not sure where to get the flexy tube (or solid with a few silicon bends). If anyone knows a good source i would be very appreciative

Thanks In advance

Will

Try the wreckers.I got some bends for my snorkel on my Discovery.It was from a Ford EL i think.They were like $8.00 each at the time.

Clark Rubber sell air intake hose up to 100mm diam. Any organisation that sell industrial hose should be able to provide.

Thanks for that, i hadn't even thought of clark rubber, super cheap auto sell the silicone bends but they are $$$, funny i go to clark rubber fairly often, it just didn't click lol.

Cheers

Most hydraulic places like enzed and pirtek tend to stock some different sizes of industrial flexi tube. Once made a whole snorkel type setup out of the stuff on a totota blizzard (if you know what that is). Engine would still run (toyota 2.2L diesel) when the vehicle was fully submerged in water (just enough air space for driver to breath).

Dont think the wife would let me do it in the DIIa. and wouldnt tell her if I did.
