Like this one:

Hey dude
The weber carb uses a different rubber pipe. Its longer than
I standard one as fitted to your one. The standard one requires some
Wrestling to make it fit and its a bit short.
Speak with a weber supplier and they should be able to get one.

well it seems i do have a weber with a a plenum adapter, after a quick call to a local weber dealer he has confirmed he can get the hose but i'm still unsure if it will fit the standard air box. I will have to take a few dimensions Saturday morning next time i lift the bonnet.

The more I think about it, I'm sure one if my SJs has a weber on it. I must check when I get home.

Right I have sourced the weber hose it isn't cheap at £41 but I want to make sure the standard air system is right before I do my snorkel.
What do most people do with the hot air feed when installing a snorkel? Jubilee clip it up with plenty of silicone?
Or take it off and blank it off?

If you mean the hot / cold flap on the air box I removed mine and put the snorkel onto that air box feed. If that makes sense.

Yer jordi, I understand. I'm using mine on the road a lot so might trying and keep it. As long as I seal it it should be ok.
