Sparky Brum Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Fellow enthusiasts, I've about to fit a new radiator cowl to my twin carb 6 and have been recommended to use Tony who sells both PI and Carb versions on ebay, see below; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-TR6-pi-carb-stainless-rad-cowl-/251069371647?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a74e694ff He comes highly recommended by mssrs Mike3739 and GreenhillTR6 and having just spoken to him he's asked me a question I thought I'd share with the forum. Being a twin carb model how best do I get air directly into the factory fitted airbox? He informs me that on previous orders he has cut a 100mm hole for customers to then feed air from the cowl into the box. Has anybody done this and if so can you advise on what's best and what other fittings I can get off the shelf to supply the carbs? Regards, Sparky! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 K&N do this Apollo filter and hose kit, seems to work well. http://www.tr-regist...&attach_id=7868 john I bought one of these once and it was great quality at a reasonable price. If you search you may find other colours. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Blue-Flexible-Tube-Cold-Ram-Air-Feed-Induction-Intake-Duct-Pipe-Kit-Clamps-/320803601505?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4ab1627c61 Cheers Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JJohn Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Tony cut a 100mm hole in my shroud and I used a length of the semi-flexible heater air hose which is used on the early Sprites. My carbs are fitted with individual air filters and I stopped the hose at about 3" from the front carb. This ensured cool air in the area of the carb intakes and also stopped the fuel vapourisation the car suffered when stopped for a short time in hot weather.

Sparky Brum Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Cheers guys, much appreciated. Comments will be passed back to Tony and I'll look to attach a decent hose directed towards the box! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mike3739 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Hi Steve Leacy's stock the 4inch flexible hose that I run with the 4 inch Plenum. only in Black or maybe Tony could make 3 or 4inch S/S pipe for you worth an ask? Cheers Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
