Flexi hoses from carbs - not on 1850s?

[GTS290N]

Hi All,

This is something that's always puzzled me - Sprints and 1500s have hoses from the air filter box to the front of the car, but 1850s don't.
Why? Or why not, depending on your point of view!

I've been thinking along the same lines having been prompted by the thread on getting cold air into the carbs;
Demon Tweeks do flexi hose and the Club do 1500 style brackets so it should be an easy job. As to why it was never done on the 1850 ... sorry dunno !

I put two on mine in hot weather, it did seem to run better... Imagination??? Who knows, not caused any problems though
