A pal (ph'er crb1) has a Noble M10 and is leaving for Le Mans on Weds pm. Has just been told that the fuel hose has perished, and that the part is no longer made by Noble. Does anyone know of a firm (preferably Bristol area) that could make & fit a part at such short notice?

Please post details here or by pm through my profile - or pm crb1 direct.

Many thanks!

I think Paul may be able to help you - SPR117T or something his username - he has a Noble, and a garage so may be in a much better position to advise...

If it's just carrying fuel from one place to another surely you just buy hose the right bore with the right pressure rating and cut to the right length - is there something special about this hose?

Just go in the M12 instead!

Connectors and Couplings, Unit 3 Dean Court, Great Western Business Park, Yate. 01454 318876.
Should be able to help. They made up a new high pressure oil pipe for a friends race engine while he waited last week. They seem to do all sorts of pipes and fittings.

Or try Merlin at Castle Coombe circuit - they'll make anything you can make out of Aeroquip.

Thanks for all your advice. As time is of the essence, the M12 option is being taken for Le Mans with repairs to be carried out in due course.

We particularly appreciate Dazren's support in making this a "sticky".

The power of Pistonheads strikes again.

Thanks
