Can you just cut a couple of mm from the end that goes onto the throttle body. Or, will the inside of the bend then rub on the throttle body motor? Silicone hoses wear fairly quickly if they are going to rub against something
To neatly trim a silicone hose, remove the hose then tighten the jubilee clamp back onto the hose where you want to trim back to, as a guide to cut against. Stanley knife or similar sharp blade and cut down to the jubilee and follow it round for a straight neat cut
If its touching next to the brake reservoir, but clear of the throttle body motor by Xmm, just set the jubilee clip at half Xmm from the end of the hose and trim away. Dead easy. If its really tight for space, you would be safer having the hose touch the engine side rather than anything else in the engine bay which will remain stationary, as the hose will move with the engine so there will be less chaffing, when it rocks about in the engine mounts.maggi112":3mnhlk0f said:I've already marked it up with some tape. But I would rather one made to fit :lol: tbh it wasn't expensive so I'm not that fussed about giving it a bit of a chop. £13 delivered ebay special :lol:
It is sturdy enough to not require a bracket, but I was playing around with how it would fit. Sounds beastly at full clap, picked my dad up earlier (first time he's been in it for ages) and kept telling me to boot it. I had to be restrained :lol:
