I can't seem to find 1.7L intake manifold hoses - when I check fitment for my 1973 1.7L the suppliers give me the red light.
Any links/suggestions? I read an old Pelican posting where Dave said that people had resorted to using clamps on the old hoses (despite potential expansion issues). |

I read an old Pelican posting where Dave said that people had resorted to using clamps on the old hoses (despite potential expansion issues). Nobody makes the 1.7L intake hoses any more. You can use the 2.0 hoses, but you'll need to add hose clamps on both ends of each hose. That's what I had to do on my previous car (a 1.7), and I never had any problems with the hoses or the clamps. |
