Has anyone a parts list of what they use to to install a metal elbow on the valve cover (aluminum cover) to replace the silly leaky rubber elbow that goes to the aircleaner via the half inch dia. hard plastic tube?
The rubber elbow is junky and leaky, and I worry dust or water from off roading may enter thru there. I installed a new rubber elbow which I could only find by purchasing the whole hard plastic hose assembly, and it is a poor fit (hencho in red china!) and has shrunken and gotten looser in short order. they wont last long due to oil and heat, simply a horrible design.
I am thinking metal conduit or plumbing parts, with a Viton gasket, held by a big nut on the inside of the cover is way to go.
What have you all used?
THANKS!
