brendanwright - May 15th, 2014 at 04:10 PM

Hi All,

I'm after a NOS style Hard Rubber Type 3 Air Bellows. All the new aftermarket ones are soft rubber, but for my exhaust i need a hard NOS style bellows so that it doesn't get hot & melt.

Any one got one of these bad boys available in good condition, no cracks, no air leaks or breakages in the rubber??

Let me know if you do please.

regards,
Brendan

I think you will find that they are all soft when new and harden with age

You should fit a new vintage Speed Type 3 exhaust the heat dissipation will be different

you may find a S/H old original one if your lucky but they tend to split and crack when hard

How many do you need?

Real "Rubber", soft or not, will not melt.

If it melts, it is a thermoplastic, or an un-cured 'rubber'.
