Ad.... Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi all, I've tried having a search but to no avail... basically I'm buying a BMC CDA but it doesn't have the silicone pipe to connect to the TB. I know the size of that is 63mm so does that mean I just need a 90 degree piece of pipe in this size?I'm probably being thick, but any help is much appreciated Cheers, Ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may even get away with a simple 70mm 90 degree and the BMC reducer around the TB but the correct sized elbow would be better.

Kam Racing Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 To fit on the BMC you need one side at least to be 70mm. You don't need a reducer really as silicon is able to be compressed enough with a 70>70mm 90degree bend and a jubilee clip to tighten securely on the 63mm throttle body.»90 degree bends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
