3B intake pipe

[SteveH]

Looking for a 3B intake pipe to use as a mould for a carbon fibre copy.
I already have the pipe from an ABY, so I'm just looking for a spare 3B pipe to send off. This is the black pipe that runs along the head to the throttle body.
I'll buy if need be or borrow and return if anyone has one spare

cheers

I have a spare one. Could send it to you, but I think there will be someone in the UK who can help. If not let me know, and you can borrow it from me.

cheers

Jeffer,

Yeah, I'll see if I can get one closer to home.
Thx for the offer though

Spooky, I was thinking about how cool it would be to do one of these in carbon fibre only last night.

Are we going for a group buy if the cost is sensible?

When do you need it? A friend of mine is coming over this weekend from Sussex (by car). I could hand it to him and then he can send it to you again!

I'm not in a huge rush for the pipe. However, I may need it for a few weeks to a month.

I'm trying to get the two parts (3B & ABY) together, so I can see if it's possible to have one carbon pipe fabricated that will work on both types of engines with only minor mods - a bend/length of silicon hose.
Both the pipes will be sent to the fabricator and they'll make the call on which way to go. I'd like the pipe to have a double skin with some insulation built in. I'm not sure if this is possible over the entire lenght or just on the straight section. I'll have to wait and see what comes back from the company.
Unfortunately, these aren't going to be cheap The mould has to be made in two parts to allow for the bend. The bend section of the mould will be produced from silicon to allow the carbon to be removed once cured.
As I know more I'll post some pics/prices, etc.

I'm also looking at -

3B ignition lead cover
Main radiator coweling
Cambelt cover
Airbox/heatshield for cone filter instalations
Intake pipe 'T' section for kkk26/27's
Door panel inserts and possibly interior trim bits.

Early days though, I'll see how the first parts come out before deciding on some of the others.
