What did you end up using as a replacement for the HD solution after it failed ?
Im on the hunt for something right now for my 2009 XKR
thanks

 

Take your pick, many sizes and colors available and they come with clamps.

thanks , will check them out

 

I fitted one of these the other day.

 

Hi @Pipes , how did it fit? Wasn't it too big or too smal on any of the side?

 

Hi everyone,
I'm "upping" this subject as I'm facing that same problem.
Apparently I can't find 95>83mm reduction silicone hose, so I wonder if these things have any elasticity ?
Would any of them fit ?
80>76 mm (3.14">3") ?
102>89mm (4">3.5") ?
102>76 ? ( 4">3")

Looking forward to your tips as the car is stuck at the workshop until I find a solution :-(
Thanks.

 

Hello @Tiepolo . Nearly every one of the links provided in this thread show “available”. Perhaps its the shipping to Paris thats a problem? Can’t imagine why as I have bits shipped from all over the world, here.

 

Hi Guy,
Thanks for the answer. I do order from all over the world too but the ones in the links doesn't ship to France or not before 2 weeks at least...
That's why I searched something faster as the car is stuck at the mechanics until I find a solution.
On Amazon the largest one I find is 102 to 76 mm (4 to3.5")

Otherwise are the 2 other sizes.

I wonder if these pieces are stretchable and to which end?
So, would one fit?

Thanks.

 

This is what I used on my 2007 XKR

sourced from siliconehoses.com

Had to trim the length but diameter was perfect

( stateside location)

 

Thanks.
I ended up ordering something from abroad on Amazon as nothing with such diameters is findable around... The car is then still stuck at the mechanics until at least next weeek.
Could definitely worth making a mold and produce some with high temp silicone if I find one in good shape ...

 

My correctly sized Spectre sleeve from AutoZone was $19 and came with clamps. It took three minutes to get it.

 

I know but didn't manage to find such thing here... Size problem or availability..
Tried my professional suppliers (interior architect) but or I needed to have a minimum order or to have a professional account open and then wait for delivery. No supply store had it neither...I'm in the countyside these days and trust me finding things that are not "everyday use" has turned very difficult lately (and I'm an avid DIYer/woodworker)..Feels like you really have not any consequence from the economic and geopolitical situation in the US... Very different in France...That stupid piece of silicon is then comming from...poland!

 

This might be worth a try - it's close:

This is the right size from Amazon USA:

 

Thanks a lot @McJag222
I didn't take such size as 102mm is too large if I'm right and although such material might be stretchable, I doubt they could fit tight as required when the diameter is too large.
Am I right?
Also, all these imperial to metric conversions got me lost and I just realized I ordered 83>95mm (3.3" >3.75") Do you think it will still fit? or is 3.3" too small? In that case I'ld have to reorder another one, they just added 3.5">3.75" ones, and wait for 10 more days..

Does anyone have the 2 diameters on the car parts that needs to fit inside the sleeves? Are these stuff stretchable enough to fit from 3.3" onto a 3.5" hole?

Thanks.

I dunno about the Amazon/FR part - it may squeeze down with the hose clamp (it's not expensive so could be worth a try) I think the 3.3 inch would most probably fit as they usually give somewhat (use some soapy water). I never seen the actual measurements for the throttle body or the t piece.

 

Thanks again @McJag222 >
I just ordered the 102mm one. I'll receive it sunday and will see if the material is stretchable or shrinkable.
If not I'll send it back waiting for the Polish one and will ask the mechanics to use soap or grease to fit it.
Today i received my official ID plates and it makes it even harder to wait for the car to be finished (even though I'll still have to care about bringing it to the A/C specialist... ).I miss it .

 

+1 thanks to @sicarumba I've just ordered my part (also blue as black is out of stock) for delivery to Spain.
