WTB: Intake tubes to suit an 86 S3
Have been chasing a set of these NLA air intake tubes in good condition. The S4 set I have on the car are not in the best condition.
I will be in the US next month for a few weeks so they could be posted to Brooklyn NY.
Send me a PM if you have a spare set. There is a 12 hour minimum time difference so it might take a while to reply.
Thanks

Eplebnista recently posted a great thread about using alternative materials to replicate S3 pipes, use some search terms, I was looking at it last week...

I haven't totally given up on my plan to replicate these tubes for the 85/85 S3s. The problem that got me sidetracked, or caused me to go off track, was/is how to make the tubes out of flat ABS sheet to start the forming with. Then I am a bit concerned that the multi segment form that I have devised does not hold its shape very well when it is held together only by a hose clamp at the ends. I am hoping that the application of vacuum into the form will be strong enough to pull the form into proper shape with the plastic on the outside as it forms and cools. Otherwise I'll have to figure how to pull it together mechanically in some other way as it forms. Then there is still the problem of getting the plastic to shrink without wrinkling or webbing in the narrowest parts of the form. When I get some of the other things I have now to do I'll try to get back to these.

two number for the 85/86 S3 tubes
928 110 272 11 & 928 110 272 21
Both numbers have shown no stock for at least 4 years and are marked NLA.
Both have instructions to use 2 x 928 110 272 13 - they are the uber expensive $200 ea.) and crap GTS intake tubes.
