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

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...

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

it's weird that the inlet hose is an odd size....

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.

I don't remember the GM ones lasting much more than that, back 45 years ago.
