Airbox inlet pipe..Any ideas

[mrzigazaga]

Hi peeps..Iam trying to locate an inlet airbox pipe but cant find anything similar..Have looked through capri..granny..sierra..escort..The fitting for the pipe is 4" long and 2"wide and is oval in shape(see pic)The airbox has a ford logo on it but what ford i dont know..any ideas please..thanks..zig

Is there a number on the air filter ?

You could proably use 3" circular ducting but squish it into an oval shape.

Thanks chaps..The air filter element was for a capri 2.8i but the air filter box is different from the norm according to my ford mate..I did consider using a heat gun and moulding one from a piece of pipe in the event of not being able to find the part(might be the only solution)but thought i should ask first..just in case..Many thanks..mark

Hi

The air pipe you are talking about is not used on a TVR! The airbox is from a Capri or 2.8 Gran, the pipe from them is the same and it will not fit a TVR with out mods. All it does is bring air in from further forward in the engine compartment, so there is no need for one!

However if you do want one as said use 3" circular ducting but squish it into an oval shape. It's not entirely satisfactory and is on the list.

Cheers chaps..I think i will mould one from 3" plastic pipe..Even if i dont need one...I want one..Dont wanna start the hot verses cold air debate again..although..many thanks..ziga

Put it the oven Mark,don't forget about though!

Dont..the last thing i forgot about was some chicken under the grill..I like it chargrilled but not carbonfried..It took ages to get the smell out of me flat.....

Hi peeps..Purchased a fitting from wickes 2.3/4"x2.5" heated with heat gun..Used a petrol neck filler hose from an MGBGT and some blacktac to seal it..And a little ally foil to seal rubber to plastic..All i need now is some cold air pipe from K&N and job done..Fits very firmly in place..Although it would of been easier if they had some straight 70-75mm pipe..
