the long, thin, hard plastic tube, to go from back of the carb to distributor.

ive tried using a stiff-ish flexible hose, but when the engine bay heats up, the hose becomes soft and the inner core implodes with vacuum.
i had a look down b&q, couldnt find anything thin enough.

anyone know where to get something similar ?

cheers

How about maybe some copper piping and then sleeve the ends to fit with some rubber piping you already have, you could spray the copper piping black ;)

Diesel spill off pipe will connect either end matey I've used it before with no problems but if you want the o.e look the thin plastic pipe that's used from the gas bottle on a welder is exactly the same
