Anyone have a spare 'ET' duct?

Post by jonstr »

Does anyone have one of these in their spares hoard? I changed the air filter on the yellow car and discovered that someone got a little overzealous tightening the duct clamp and collapsed my duct on the bottom, opening up about a 1" gap where it could suck in air without going through the air filter.

Joanne tells me they don't have these anymore. Before I look to repair mine, I thought I would check to see if anyone had a spare they would be willing to part with.

In the meantime, I was changing the filter (and serpentine belt - thanks Joanne!) for a little road trip to Sedona when I discovered this - and I learned the true value of having two of these cars - spare parts. Note the purple duct on the yellow car. :jsmile

It would have been great to get together, but my Sedona trip was a few weeks ago. Are you flying in, or are you local to the area?

Sorry to hear about your loss. Always a tough time. I assume you're flying in to PHX and driving up. I'm in town this week if you wanted to stop on your way through town.

This lead hasn't panned out. No callback from Mike, so I assume they don't have one.

Callaway4fun - any update on the one you have yet? I'd like to get the duct so I can get it to the paint shop with some other pieces.

Jon, is the ET piece fiberglass? Seems a competent repair guy could probably fix it up so you can repaint it. :wtf

Yes it is, that was plan B - but it looks like that isn't going to be needed. Hopefully the new ET from Callaway4fun is on the way.
