I need to replace a couple of cracked air sensor rubber elbows for my Spi.

Are they only available from mini shops or is there a cheap and easily obtainable alternative?

What do ya use!?!

Cheers.

I replaced the the hose that runs from the manifold to the fuel separator (the little black box) with some thing rubber hose. Works fine.

You could probably do the same to the other, I just haven't as it hasn't broken yet (it will eventually though).

i use silicone fuel hose from a local RC model shop. very cheap, but only last about twice as long as the factory elbows.

but you can use other elbows, some from GM are looking good
