You mean the aftermarket one I take it? You just need a standard top hose, then move the small hose on the top back to the factory swirl pot, not sure whats blanking that off at the moment?

Yeh, can you see it on the right there? where that thin black hose is attached to the top? and the red one is attached to the other side. It just leaks like mad no matter how tight the jubilee clips are...

Its a fookin nightmare
