Called up Able Hydraulics and they have everything I need.
Will be heading down on sat to buy them.

Thks Pete for the heads up.

Am gonna get

a) 4 metres of 1/2" dia hose
b) 2 x brass fitting ( T-joint )
c) Some extra hose clips
d) Anything else I have left out ?

As I am currently using a mini breather filter, I used black tape to mask off the opening of the hose to the IM.

Regards,

see if you can get a Y-joint, flow is better.. use a plug bolt instead of black tape.. that deteriorates over time and can get sucked into the intake manifold :wink:

Pete... regarding the heatshield for my openpod. Was going through some of the websites. Do you think the heatshield can be done using a plastic dustbin, and cut it to shape?
