Excellent, glad it worked for you Whippy. I am not in the same league as our Snorv for functional economical repairs.

Ach, you're too kind Daps


I have to say that my airbox held down by a bungee arrangement seems to work reasonably well, but I think I'll look at your idea again. I've got some new carb to head rubbers on there way that need to be fitted and I'm still pondering that carb toobs (the carbs are still unopened and sitting on the bench)

SO many things to do and so little time to get them all done.....<sigh>

Does anyone know if the MKII requires the same 60mm diameter silicone hose?

 

I'm sure its been asked and answered but I'm frigged if I can find it with this search !

[Studley Ramrod]

Mk1 and mk2 are same diameter, mk2a has a larger diameter.

[LewisBlackburn]

Ahh Brill ! Cheers Studley, saves me taking off the tank and airbox 

 

Rubbers are £23 each from AJ Suttons so might give some 60mm hose a go. 

[butcher650]

Where do you reckon is the best place to get some 60mm silicon tooob?

[dablik]

Na dont worry daps, they look pretty and sophisticated, i can manage wid normal ones cos there gonna be dry anyway out the way, will have a poke around for some agricultural one an all....cheers muchly..

[Studley Ramrod]

The clips you already have might work properly on the silicon hose if the hose is thicker than the rubbers.

Dablik--Just a warning--

 

When I did this to my MK2 the silicone was such a good fit on the stub of  inlet rubber that I didnt glue them  I used jubilee clips to hold them on but I done them up to tight and months later the revs  started to go up and down by 3/400 reves so of came the air box and  I found I had squeezed the rubbers out of round so after rounding them back I glued and zip tide them on--revs were fine then.

Note taken Mick and thanks for the head's up, glue em on and jubbly clips overkill if a bit hamfisted, wot i am
