TR7 = Hot Air Intake from Manifold - TKC1106

Postby stevie_a » 20 Jun 2021 08:18

Can somebody point me in the right direction, I am looking for the original black paper air pipe that runs from the air filter to the manifold.
I managed to get one of the aluminum ones, but it just doesn't look right, I can't seem to find the right size in the UK

If it's not broke don't fix it.

Can't help on a source, but what about some flat black spray paint?

I think that would just flake off and look unsightly

Had a friend that put a new one on, it was composite of some sort, it did not last long. Don't know who he got it from. Just a word of caution. If I were to paint a metal one, I would use VHT paint (more durable I would think) or a ceramic based paint and cure it in an oven. I have my old wall oven set up in the garage for that, otherwise you'd have to do it when the wife is out of the house. :P

I bought mine from Rimmer Bros some years ago and it is still OK.
