[Tigers] FIller neck vent question

[genepadgett at comcast.net]

Ron, 


I replaced that hose a year or so ago and for some reason am not remembering any clips. As best as I can recall, the hose just pretty much layed in the cavity. Are the clips like "P" hose clamps? Are they supposed to be at the corners where the hose takes a more or less 90 degree bend? 


Thanks, Gene 


BTW, as you noted already, the hose is 3/8 ID, but the factory one I took out was a bit thinner wall than a lot of the hose you find today at the auto parts store. It is a bit of a tight fit through the cavity across the top, but I found some thinner than typical wall hose that slipped through okay.

This is listed in the Alpine Parts List Section UA - #19 breather 
pipe - #20 Clip - 2. 

There is a nipple on the other side tank that the breather tube attaches. 

Offhand, I don't know the size of the hose, possibly 3/8", or how long. 

The hose runs between the metal framing where the trunk hinges mount.

Good Morning all: 

I am putting my car together and it runs, wow. The fuel cap filler neck has 
a vent that points towards the front of the car. My question is what does 
this connect to or is it open, which doesn't make any sense. I cannot find 
any details in the either the parts books or either service manual, (Alpine 
or Tiger). Any help would be appreciated.
