Hi,
The standard air intake tube from the filter box to the turbo on my JB has cracked and split at the connection to the turbo. Has anyone got a spare. Mitsubishi said they could get Japan to make a new one but it could take upto a year to get.
Thanks

Check out Al's page in the link above. He has a guide on how to fix it easily and cheaply. I've done it myself and it works a treat

Thanks Al,
I had thought about trying to make the whole pipe from scratch but your instructions on modifying the pipe were excellent.
I could note find a car spares store that had a F100 or any hose 50mm dia. so I contacted a Tractor replacement store and they had the perfect 90 bend. I had the existing pipe cut leaving one rib infront of the tee and then ground the rib back so as to get a good hold for the clamp. I then connected the pipes using a 50mm copper 45 elbow. That ment I didn't need to drill a hole for the tee inlet.
That's again for the great info. One day I may even try and make the strut brace
