It says 76mm, not 70. So it won't fit (straight away).

Didnt think 6 mm would make all the difference once clamped on.

Could i squeeze a 68mm one on then.

Yeah should be able to get a 68mm on.
I would have imagined. Silicone hoses seem to have a fair amount of give.

Saying that though mate you can buy 70mm hoses.

Will consider any colours!!!!

you sure you want a 90degree pipe? from what ive seen that will either put the filter on top of the abs block or the dizzy cap.

how about a 45degree one instead?

Oops wrong pic

There you go :oops:

if you move the battery into the boot you would have a lot more space to play with

but yeah 45 degree would be a lot better than a 90 on there.
