Area Representative Piers300 Posted June 12, 2018 Area Representative Share Posted June 12, 2018 /sites/default/files/images/users/7956/large_51A5A0DC-7B6F-4911-B5CB-C39A88FCFF16.jpegI have recently had to replace the smaller rubber pipe breather to the right of the photo, due to a split in the pipe. At the same time, I wanted to replace the main petrol fill rubber connector, as I assume it would got hard with age (it hasn’t yet). The original that I took out was 930 mm (3 5/8”) long. The replacement I got from Chris at Redline was 1180 mm (4 5/8”) long. Fitting the new longer inlet was impossible, due to the metal breather pipe connection on the side of the pipe work. Now I could cut the new one down to size, but both the old and new have a angled section at each end, so if I cut the new rubber pipe, one end won’t have this. Any advice please.

SM25T Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Several of us have had to cut a notch out of the end of the new hose to sit around the metal breather tube. Works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
