Hi all,

I've just bought a new pair of air boxes for my 4.5 and was hoping someone could tell me if there should be barbed hose connector fitted to the top end of the near side box (to take a 4mm ID approx vacuum hose).

Thanks

There needs to be some way to connect the pressure sensor hose, if you have a barbed connector you are doing much better than me, there's just a hole in mine.

Thanks Paul, my old one had this, but the new one was blank.



I'd better get the drill out!

Tempted to get one of these and epoxy it in place.

I don't want yet another fitting inside the airbox that has the potential to come lose and destroy the engine.

I used a plastic water hose/irrigation barb fitting.
