Intake Hose

[Gerry Attrick]

Anyone know the source of the induction hose (between plenum chamber and air meter) on a 350. All the Land Rover dealers quote NCR 9997 for a 3.5 litre engine around 1988, but this is far too short, and straight. I have one dealer scouring his complete parts list but cannot come up with anything.

Don - have you tried Tim @ ACT? - Streaky

It is specific to TVR. Tim had some nice SAMCO hoses made to replace it IIRC.

I had to replace that part a couple of years ago - it's a bit of a nightmare. You'd think that you can just pick up anything off the shelf but Rover/SD1 stuff is the wrong shape. I got one from HHC in the end. Just keep ringing round everyone that you can think of. Tim is probably a good start. Peninsular were very helpful but came up with one two weeks too late; they did find one though and did call me to let me know which was impressive. The factory didn't have any. Good luck.

I got my silicon hose from Tim at ACT, picture of it here

It was easy enpugh to fit and was surprisingly cheap as well.
