Im after 4 short bits of silicone hose (or any fuel resistant hose) to connect my GSXR throttle bodies to my inlet manifold.

Im also after a bit of advice....

My GSXR 600's are 43mm outside diameter, my manifold is 45mm outside diameter, do i go for 45mm hose & if i do will it crush down 2mm to get a good fit or do i find something thats 43mm if this exists ?? & stretch it 2mm over the inlet manifold if this is possible ??

Im not worried about it being silicone hose, normal black fuel resistant hose will do, i was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem ?

One last thing, where is a good reasonably priced place to buy from, i understand if i go silicone i will probably need 'fluro lined' to make it fuel resistant or is this not required ?

Apologies for all the questions - Cheers Andy

I've just taken some off my Alfa engine. I'll go and measure them now....wait there.....

I have blue silicon and it was fitted for about 20 minutes. Then the engine went pop.
The bits I have are 100mm long and are 45mm I/D and thye squished up nice and snug onto the 42mm inlet runners. Any good to you?

Spot on owelly, that sounds great.

Pop a U2U over to me with a price & i will let you know if i have enough pennies in the kitcar fund

Also, where did you get the clamps from ? are they standard jubilee clips ?

Cheers Andy

you have u2u

I used inlet rubbers from a V6 vectra or omega, they fit a treat and there are plenty about for pennies!

If you can find an alternative, don't think you have to buy mine. Have a looksy and let me know whenever.

Pretty sure that silicon hose isn't fuel resistant.
