Shannon Tube(s) by Jabawoki

Hello Everyone

I need 2 Shannon tubes, as they have both disintegrated. I'm aiming on getting silicone hoses.

One is for a ZT 2.5 V6 190

One is for Rover 75 2.5 V6, 177

I'm confused (as per usual) as I don't know if these are both 70mm, or one is 80mm & one is 70mm. Also how long should the hose be?

Thank you.

Think the V6 is the larger of the two?

Whatever you do DO NOT ENTER SHANNON TUBE into google.

Bet you all do now!!!

Thanks Mr Dattrike :-) Mick, I wish I'd known about the length required, I've ordered half meter lengths. Oopsie!

Thank you everyone for your help, it's really appreciated. I've resisted the temptation to google Shannon Tube! The ebay links from Mr Arctic are great, thank you. I'm not sure there is a way to give a thumbs up or 'like' on this forum, otherwise I'd have done this.
