surface cracks or holes . if it has only very minor perish cracks might ::)be fine but if it sucks more air than needed when it breaks right thru then u have a high speed lean out meltdown and no more pre70 engine left :'(. dont risk it for price of intake rubber if jared has them back in stock. cheers chris

I have been trying a lot of over sea sites, one came back to me, but l have to buy it through Bultaco Australia and l have been in contact with peter, but have`nt heard anything as yet.

What really works good for an intake connector is the hose material that goes from
the gas filler to the gas tank on cars.  Much higher quality than radiator hose and gas resistant.
It comes in different lengths and different diameters.  Take your carb with you and match it up.

What bike are you fitting it to. Is it a Montesa?

I have tried the reproduction carbie hoses (between Carbie and Engine) and found them to have a very short life. I currently use reinforced rubber hose (fuel rated) from a industrial hose supplier. They have a large range of sizes and they are usually flexible enough to overcome any differences in size between Carnie and manifold.

If you are after the airbox to carbie then that is more difficult. There are several different versions. Jared (Cappra on the Forum) at SW Montesa or John at Rocky Mountain Montesa should be able to help. RM Montesa is particularly good for the early models while Jared covers the full range.

Montynut the rubber that l have is off my  67 montesa cappra carbie to Airbox.
Not carbie to engine. Sorry,

I believe some Jawa rubbers are interchangable with Montesa's. J
