Big fat rubber bender....
I am looking for a 90degree bend in rubber that is 70mm at one end and 85mm at t'other. It's to attach my AFM to the throttle body on my
air plenum. At the moment the one that I have fitted is a bit squished against my radiator.
It may seem optimistic but IIRC, the TB housing and the AFM are quite common and some frony cars have compact air intakes so.....? If not I'll
have to start bonnet lifting in the scrappy's. I'll start with a Peugeot. I seem to recall either the 406 or 407 having something
similar!
Any suggestions will be welcome!
Cheers folks.

Pop to your friendly motor factors which stock Gates radiator hoses and look for one in their book - they've got little pictures and dimensions
on them and have got pretty much everything you might need.... I managed to get all the stuff for my build, and its cheap as well - the most expensive
pipe I got was 6 quid.

Sorry, I forgot to say that the measurements are for the internal diameter. 70mm one end and 85mm at t'other.

Rubber bendy thing
Well someone was going to .... 
Find a motor factors with a Gates catalogue - they list all the dimensions and you are sure to find it in there.

Cheers Razman, I was beginning to think my setups for a dodgy jest were not working!!
I'll try the local factors but they are a bit pants. I'll have to journey up the Teesside next week.
Just to give you an idea of what I'm waffling on about, heres where it wants to go....

i found an on-line Gates cataloue and found some bits that look like they may do what I want (they are coolant hoses but close enough!). Now my local
(cr4p) motor factors say they can't get parts that are not on their stock list. Great!
