Hi

Does anybody know where I can purchase new pipes for the cabin air inlets please on a V8S.

Thanks

www.carbuildersolutions.co.uk do a lot of stuff like that.

Do you mean the ones which run from the front through the engine bay or the ones under the dash which go to the centre concole? If the latter, use old hoover flexible pipes. Much more flexible and easier to bend around all the tight spaces.

Hi
I need the ones that run from the front of the bonnet through the engine bay.

The air inlet pipes under the bonnet are on my jobs list. Mine's an S3C, not sure if the pipes are the same on a V8S.

If anyone know where they can be sourced much appreciated.

Maybe a group buy coming on?

Here's an alternative solution.

I got some from TVR Car Parts a few years ago. Not cheap though..!!

This is what I used . . . .

The end cuff (on the left in picture) when cut off square fits nicely onto the spigots moulded into the bonnet, throw away the fitting on the other end and the hose "screws" into the remains of the old hoses sticking out of the bulkhead. Spare end cuffs can be purchased to do other side.

After getting a car full of burning plastic fumes I did have to put a bit of heat protection around it where it gets bit close to exhaust !
