    Hoping someone can help me find a replacement hose. It is for a 612 and is located under the manifold. I have searched everywhere but no luck. Ferrari doesn’t make anymore and there aren’t any in the dealership network in the US. Any help locating one would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, yes. I’ve also tried Ferrparts, Eurospares, Ricambi, Ferrariparts, AWItalian and others that I can’t remember. Everyone says the same thing; no longer available.

    Yeah, the "candy cane" hose... that is going to be a problem. I replaced that hose on my 612 about a year and a half ago. I searched extensively / worldwide before I was able to locate one in stock at Miller Motorcars. A kind gentleman there named Lonnie helped me out by identifying the part and sending it to me. At that time, I felt like I must have found the last one available anywhere in the world! My advice is to start calling or emailing the parts department and/or service manager at every Ferrari dealership you can find (start with Lonnie from Miller Motorcars) and ask for advice regarding where that part can be found. Hopefully some leads will develop that will point you in the right direction. If my memory is correct, I did contact Ferrari North America, and I think they were able to see that Miller Motorcars had one in stock.

    On a side note, there are a few aftermarket hose manufactures out there that can custom-fabricate high-temp neoprene hoses with complicated bends. as a worst case scenario, you may be able to have one fabricated. A single hose probably won't be cheap but a limited production run might be worth it...with potential customers to be found in the Ferrari V-12 community. Scuderia Rampante may be able to help you out there. I think the same hose part number may have been used on 456, 550, and 575. Good luck with your search and please let us know how you made out.

    I've had good luck in the past with the Florida dealers having parts no one else has.

    Thanks everyone for your responses. My mechanic has found someone who can fabricate a replacement for me. Don’t know the price yet. I’m sure it won’t be cheap, but I really don’t care as long as it works and lasts. I post updates after I get her back.

    Looks great BUT the copper will erode the aluminum, read the block.
