Air filter hole- Silicone replacement.

[Surfer Dave]

Afternoon,
Mine has decided to split, so I'm looking at using Silicone tubing as a replacement, does anyone know off by hand the diameter of the hose. So I can order it up and have it delivered for when I'm back home with the surf!

Thanks

Air filter pipe.

You can buy a ready sized silicone hose, but in my (and others) experience it can prove a bit too rigid and can break the bracket between the air filter and the inner wing with the engine movement. You would be better off taking the old pipe to your nearest good motor factor and buying a same internal diameter length of heavy duty convoluted hose. This allows for the movement, as did the original pipe, and probably cheaper than the Toyota part.
