Oil hose reducer for redtop engine
I am trying to replace the pipe highlighted on the pic below, (off redtop engine) as it has a hole in it. It is a reducer with an ID of 31mm at the
top, 25mm at the bottom, and a length of 65mm.
I can find silicone reducers on the net, but I dont think they are good with oil. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Or even does
someone have one that I could steel / buy?
Cheers
Matt

They're a bugger of a pipe - always had them crease, split or fail in my old Vauxhalls (Mk2 Astra GTE, Calibra 16V etc.).
I never actually found a direct replacement other than main dealer, so replaced with 2nd hand parts. Have you tried the local Vauxhall garage to see
what's available?
