Where can I find the 2 cold air intake hoses. I recently was given a SPIDER that someone has repainted green. It's missing the intake hoses which I believe are 2.75 inch ID. although I may be wrong.

Check this post where Jim used aircraft silicone hoses.

pm him for details.

Dayseeze,
Mine were both missing when I got the car - replaced with ABS plumbing (the PO was a plumber and cheap)! I had my mechanic friend, at his suggestion, buy some aircraft hose (silicon)and it fits perfectly. I bought 10 feet of it and gave nearly all of the balance (maybe 5 feet) to Zeke in Florida for his FI TR7. I have about a foot to 16 inches left - enough for the hose from the air meter to the steel bend. Maybe Zeke has enough left over for the longer "U" piece. You're welcome to mine. It cost me about $10/ft but it's impervious to fuel and heat. Also it's orange which looks a little different. I can find out where the hose came from if you want.

Can you list the specifics on the aircraft duct? I need some but can't actually get to my car right now so I especially want to know the diameter for the "U" section that sits under the throttle body and air flow meter. I'd like to pick some up while I'm waiting for the return of the car.
Thanks.

Referencing my previous post - my car has fuel injection. Should have mentioned that.

The ducts are 2 3/4 inch diameter - a wierd size. I used about 4-5 feet of aircraft grade silicon hose. Kind of expensive. I bought through my mechanic friend who used it on a TR7 before. Mike @ Sportscars Ltd. 916-366-0330. I don't have any idea where he sourced it. You could call him or do some internet snooping.
Good Luck!
Jim
