Hey guys, I have to replace the 4 rubber sleeves that attach the intake manifold pipes to the engine. They are held on by hose clamps. Does anybody know where to order these? Thanks and Happy Holidays.

Roger,
You could also obtain them locally at Banyon Air Parts [FXE].

Aviall, see link below for Fort Lauderdale location

https://www.aviall.com/frontdoor/locations/northamerica/customerservice.shtml

Or at M&M Aerospace [now a subsidiary of B/E Aerospace] just outside of MIA. (305)925-2600 They have locations all over the world. See

FYI, M&M Aerospace requires you set up a customer account to deal with them. They do deal with individuals. I've found them to have the "tough" to find stuff, that no one else has. Jody Edwards [RV-4] told me about them, years ago.

PS For those listers who think, "why not just use radiator hose"? Radiator hose is made from EPDM, which is not suitable for use with mineral oils or gasoline. See

Intake tube hoses

Aeroinstock.com has them, their website will show you the correct one for your engine, and they are a forum advertiser (VAF supporter). Russ
 
go to your local napa aircraft store and ask for the proper size fuel tank filler hose.

Buy the red silicone parts.

Call Superior Air Parts. They have red silicone hose. Holds up much better to the high temps.
 
Guys, thanks for all of the replys and help. I guess I just wasn't using the correct terminology in my searches. Have a great holiday season to all.
