308 Coupling between intake and airbox

What coupling are you talking about? Is it for the carb or for the FI? Can you post pic.

 

i'm assuming you mean the big (4 1/2") flexible rubber hose that sells on ebay for like 80 bucks? if you have someone who can make a repo and sell it for $35 there'll be a line around the block. there was/is a thread started by birdman about this not too long ago.

 

I'd be in for one, and I don't even need one! Can't hurt to have a spare, and it's all about sticking together! If we need to order "X" pieces, count me in at the $35.00 pricepoint.

 

I believe it's the same part we use on the 308QV's also.

Listen, I'm threatening now: get us a good deal or ELSE!

MikeC, the carb one technically has more "pleats" than the injected one, but my experience is that the injected one works fine on both, and IMHO looks a little cleaner on the carb car because the carb one has way more pleats than are necessary. The only exception seems to be that on the GT4 there is more distance to cover between the airbox and the intake, and you may need the one with more pleats.

If we are going to try to get a group buy on this, I think we ought to think about getting the "injected" version made, which has 4 or 5 pleats. (Can't remember, but I will go out in the garage and take a pic tomorrow.)

Mike,

Your QV takes a similar but shorter hose (pictured below). Both types are available from T. Rutlands for $75 with the band clamps.

They last a long time. I replaced my original bellows hose about three years ago (it was 27 years old then) when it developed a small split.

So I'm good for another 24 years or so.

I've also posted a picture of mine.

I need three......

Yours looks nice Barry...wise words...amortized over the time peroid...

 

Yeah Bubba. A lotta other expensive stuff's gonna have to replaced in the next 24 years! (or so)

 

Maybe....maybe not........you gotta have finesse!

 

Nothing personal, but if I'm in, I'm in for the carbed version of the bellows, as I have a carb car. I'm sure there are enough carb owners & FI owners to get group buys going for both, if so desired. On the GT4, there's just no way the shorter FI piece will work (I assume), but I really want to do my part by participating in the group buy to help with numbers!

 

Count me in for two if you can get a good price. But I am alongside Birdman on this, that it would be a duplicate of a carbed hose.

 

I'll take one also, at that price. I prefer the longer, carbed hose.

Thanks,

I reckon. But some parts are 30 years old now.

 

I'm almost embarrased to post a picture of the 4 inch calder coupling that the previous owner installed, (about $4. Jeez, can you imagine, a poop pipe connector on a 308), so yeah, sign me up for one, (carb version).

thaks,
chris

 

I'll take a carb one also.

 

Injected please.

 

Rob and others, this is an item I have been looking to purchase for my 1978 GTS Weber carbed Ferrari. I would welcome getting in on a reasonably priced group purchase. Put me down for one. Jim in Kamloops, B.C. <[email protected]>

 

I'd be interested in an injected hose. What do you think the turnaround time will be on this?

 

I would like to have one for my 81 Mondial.

I'll take a 4 ridge Injected version... just dont ruin a good thing by charging us $ 50 for shipping ...ouch

 

I'm out... Couldn't wait any longer so I ordered one an paid the markup.

Sorry guys

 

I'm very interested in the larger hose that came with the early carbed model 308 GTS cars. Please let me know when they are available and I will send $35.00 cash plus $5.00 for mailing. Regular US Mail works for me Jim <[email protected]>
