Air Intake Hoses-Replace?

Postby roy666 » Sat 13.03.2021, 16:25

Hi All - while renovating the front suspension I've removed the air intake hoses: the one from the air nozzle to the underside of the air filter; and the metal one from the charge cooler that goes through the inner wing to the throttle body. Has anyone ever replaced these things? I'm thinking something semi-rigid... or a silicone hose of some sort. Thoughts welcome. M

Samco do an induction kit for the M100.

There was a group buy a few years ago, along with their coolant kit.

Merlin Motorsport and Amber Motorsport are both Samco stockists in the UK. Whether they have stock or it's by order only I can't say.
Good luck.

The metal one was not part of the Samco set If I recall correctly
The one under the airfilter was!

I bought my cooling set from Hans recently, lovely guy. He has the induction set for sale on his eBay store:

Good luck.

Merlin have just opened a warehouse extension and are now stocking more Samco stuff than they used to. Very friendly guys, always worth asking.
