To be fair they look like really good seats! Let me know how comfy they are/quality of material/ seating position etc.. because my pal wants some of them but was put off by the PVC!

I wiol do bud. For 200+20 postage they are cheaper than tt's and tt's usually have leather wear on the sides so I may as well get new seats

using a 90 degree silicon bend, which connects to another 90 degree by using the coupling hose, then an alloy pipe to a reducer which attaches to my filter

The first two links are the same so is that supposed to be the 90* bends?

 

[ALEXZ360]

lol try those links, they should work now

 

[phillpotts92]

Is it really 51 as I have 57 and its snug?

 

[ALEXZ360]

I Have No Idea, Maybe Yours Is Different Because It Is A Pre Facelift Engine?

 

[phillpotts92]

[ALEXZ360]

Lol the mrs wasnt happy that i spent about an hour and a half just figuring all this out and then had to take here home and Yeh I've decided not to get the hose clamps, think I'm just going to use the jubilee clips that I already have so it's about £50

 

[phillpotts92]

Yea I'm only using jubilee clips if I do it. Lol yea my Mrs wouldn't either but she would have to bo-ut up and shut up lol

 

[ALEXZ360]
