Inlet Air Hose
Need to replace my Inlet Air Hose on my 61 again. Does anyone know which supplier has the best reproduction ?

Replace again?
Reproduction? Are you into "correct" or something that will last forever and looks better? I bought some stuff made out of Santoprene? (IIRC) that looks much better and is indestructible and is easier to keep clean. Got it from McMaster Carr. If they had a size that fit the FI inlet, i would have bought it for that, also Doug |
I don't like the latest repro inlet C1 hoses...they look shiny and sparkly....a little like a black sequin gown on Grammy Awards night...

There are some pics of my engine bay in post #36 of this trhead.
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...cations-2.html You can see the hose in pic 2 and 3. Santoprene is from memory, I do know i got it from McMaster. read their hose descriptions carefully so you don't get something weird, like dryer vent hose. Doug

Yep Repro. Lasted about 6/8 yrs, then ripped. Cut the 2 inches at the end where the rip was and now too short. Was hoping there was a better repo out now . Guess not.:willy: Will look into the Santoprene. Thanks
