Are these handed? Just discovered a split in the one that has to bend most Sad

Is it a common problem?

Just threw two of these away Surprised

I knew that was 'stoopid' when I did it!

eBay - Surely they don't cost that normally!?!?!? I'd be making something up myself if it needed something which that price tag! However - I guess they're made of something reasonably substantial bearing in mind where they are and the consequence of breakage.

hi, i'm sorry but the price seems in accordance with dealer prices (more than € 100 last time i checked) which doesn't mean it's reasonable. Fortunately they can be found at a scrapyard at little or no cost. I suppose it's even possible to reuse the flanges from a split pipe and use flexible rubber hose between them.

regards,
zp

ps : i wonder if they'll this at the listed price!!!

Ade,

They have different part numbers in the Alfa catalogue, which implies they are different.

Also, from Alfa, they appear to be £103 EACH Shocked

Sorry mate... it was one of those things I looked at and thought "if I need new ones I'll get them... can't be more than a few quid each" - as I tossed them away.
