Hello, I believe these do exist somewhere - I'm after a right angle air hose that fits over the plastic bellmouths on Dellorto PHBH carbs, anyone know who sells them? Thanks in advance.

Not sure tbh but you can unscrew it and get plenty that do fit

Thanks for the replies - I've got the standard one I was just hoping to experiment with airboxes and use a bigger hose that is not quite so restrictive. I'm sure I've seen some but can't remember where, cheers, Jon

I've got the breath sweet rubber on it's own that fits the 60mm opening of the PHBH with the screw on bellmouth. Not sure how you'd make it fit the airbox though.

Some hideously welded collection of unsuitable pipes and butchered boxes I'd imagine - persevere up to point of contemplating suicide and then find that going open mouth solves all problems of my own making.
Thanks for getting back and pm sent.

I think I've previously bought every plastic tubing option that B&Q sell trying to mate up Ramair filters to breath sweet hoses, though thankfully I've now got decent supplies of the proper breath sweet filters. I reckon that one or two strips of old innertube might bridge the gap or a mix and match with double sided tape, the thick stuff for mounting number plates.

Ive used the elbow with 42mm bore at carb end, clamped down onto the threads, and a ramair filter fitted to the OD at the other end, all fab and groovy, although Im now going to try a ram air direct onto the carb as Im not sure if its flowing enough air as it is
