I'm after the rubber bellows that sits between the throttle body and the air intake pipe for my 91 Formula 305 V8.

Thanks

Could try ebay . . there's been a few breakers on there reently . . . I'm guessing the Firebirds one is the same as the Camaro ?

Well, what can I say.  I spoke to Geoff at Astoria - what a lovely bloke.  Very helpful indeed - went out of his way to help.

Unfortunatley though the part I require is coming back as discontinued and can't find alternative aftermarket parts.

So beware don't damage your rubber bellows

Good thing though - he's manage to source me a second hand one .

Definitely recommend this guy, he was brilliant and will definitely be using him again in the not too distant future.  - I see an order for transmission filters/oil etc etc etc on the books

Thanks Graeme for pointing me in his direction
