Default CS Feed Pipe

Last engine was an ECI TMX IO-360 and the feed pipe from the CS unit - Jihostroj was stainless.

The new motor for the 8 has been supplied with a flexible hose covered in firesleeve which looks shonky to me.

Anyone got a source for the stainless one please ?

Default Feed pipe for the CS

I ordered one directly from ECI. I just gave them a call and the sent one right out to me. (I don't remember the part number)

Small heads-up....I seem to recall something about required steel fittings at the ends of the steel governor line, as well as specific clamp locations.

In addition to the multiple suppliers, the line is easy to make. No complex bends, and plenty of room to flare both ends.
