Default Shannon tube - thanks to Steve (Arctic)

As mentioned in another post, I was going to renew the Shannon tube on my Connie as the original was just a coil of wire! The downpipe was not where I expected it to be, and on further inspection it was found to be completely missing.

Steve (Arctic) sent me a replacement downpipe, for which I am extremely grateful. It fitted perfectly.

As another member had done in another post, I took out the air filter body to gain access. The downtube slotted straight in.



The Shannon tube replacement ducting was then fitted to the downpipe.



The other end of the ducting was pulled through the hatch in the inner wing and the nozzle connected.



The hardest part of the job was getting the nozzle to engage in the clip in the inner wing!

Thanks again Steve, it's nice to see everything the way it should be.

Jim

I think for everything except the 190 it's 80mm. There's some very nice brightly coloured silicone ducting available out there if you fancy.

The top end of mine with the clip-on venturi etc went missing when I took the old one out so I made a wire mesh top for it and attached with cable ties. You can't tell the difference unless you've got your head stuck up under the wing.

It was listed as 70mm (2 ¾") Black Neoprene Ducting Flexible Induction Air Intake Pipe Hose 0.5M The 70mm is the inside diameter.

I would guess from a breaker on here or someone breaking one on the bay.
