He has precut sections, so do you know the LH and RH side section lengths? I'd hate to order pieces too short.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173120571151733490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846314917642465023.post-25699616431104708082013-03-07T17:55:02.031-05:002013-03-07T17:55:02.031-05:00I got the idea out of my Parts Catalog and noticed...I got the idea out of my Parts Catalog and noticed no part number specified for those tubes...just VACUFLEX. So I employed the internet to see if anything came up. That KS7150 was the one I was thinking too after reading this thread to learn that the tube isn't supposed to be black. KS7150 is `grey'.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173120571151733490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846314917642465023.post-38813933458768794692013-03-07T13:25:49.184-05:002013-03-07T13:25:49.184-05:00Ron that is an interesting link that I have never ...Ron that is an interesting link that I have never seen before. For sure they may be a source for something very close (the KS 7150 looks REALLY good). On the Dino the hose is the same on both sides. On the driver side it feeds the airbox and on the passenger side it just blows air over the oil cooler. It is very common for the passenger side hose to be missing as it is often left out by careless mechanics during service.

I suspect you did, but did you check out the originator of the material, Vacuflex?<br /><br />http://www.vacuflex.de/english/produkte/produktgruppen/index.html<br /><br />Also, is the same exact material used on both sides (i.e, driver side inlet to air filter as well as passenger side towards oil cooler? My Dino was missing the passenger side tube and the driver side is a very flexible material...not the PVC kind of material shown in your post. Since it has some holes in it, I'd like to replace both sides with a hopefully (mostly) correct material.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173120571151733490noreply@blogger.com
