2.8 Induction Hose

[djzcarr]

Started doing a light summer refresh poly-bushes, wishbone repaint, rad re-core of my 1988 2.8 S which has turned in a rather complete front end rebuild! Sourced nearly all the parts I need to rebuild however, one hose is defeating me! I need to replace the induction hose from the airbox to the phlegm chamber. Anyone any ideas.

Forgive my ignorance of matters TVR but if this uses the Ford 2.8 V6 Cologne engine with the same hoses I may be able to help with a spare, though I may have to hunt it down in the garage.

It is the Ford 2.8 V6 Cologne however it is a TVR special! Hose looks the same as the one on the Capri but the TVR version is longer. Can't be the only person to have faced this issue!

Phlegm? Cough cough!
Ah, plenum

I replaced mine with a length of twin walled, wire coil reinforced, 75mm dia silicon hose from ASH.

They also supply nice shiny stainless clips to suit

Excellent just what I was looking for. Still on target for completing the work by mid June.

Sorry, can't help with the special version, just a standard Ford one.
