1564, Valve cover hose -- Corbin Posted by Doug96GS, May-06-01 09:20 AM
Corbin--
I noticed in one of the pics on your site that you have a yellow replacement hose for the black one that connects the valve cover to the intake manifold. I broke mine while I was changing my spark plug wires yesterday and I was wondering where I could get another one. If you made yours, what did you make it out of??

Its just 2 peices of yellow silicon hose. I bought a bunch from NOPI a long time ago. If you're not as picky as me, you could probably use black fuel hose from an auto parts store. I'm really trying to build a color theme inside and out, so color was important. Silicon is about the only way to get cool colors.

Silicon is also a better hose for that, they last longer without drying out like rubber hoses do. You can always get the Silicon Hose Kit from RRE for $20, enough hose to replace all your vaccum hoses in a few different colors.

I bet that I could buy silicon hose from Home Depot. What diameter should I buy? Also, this has nothing to do with hoses, but can an aftermarket underdrive pulley be installed by someone with average mechanical skill or do you have to have a mechanic do that?
