I’m looking for an original hot air pipe for my 1918 Roadster. I know there are a few different versions of this part over the years, so whichever one will fit my 1918 Roadster.
Thanks for the help!

Re: WTB - Hot Air Pipe
This is from the 1918 Parts Manual. Dan Mari had some made. If he doesn't have any left I have one I ordered to help the build quantity & for whomever needed one at a later date when they were gone. --

This is an alternative. Was an aftermarket accessory. The base design had an adjustable air intake - they also has an end to cause cirular air flow. Some owners removed this & that from them. I have a couple modified for sale ($10+shipping)
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Thanks Frank,
I would like to find the earlier version for my car. If I can't, would one of the later versions work?

Re: WTB - Hot Air Pipe
It appears so based on the parts list (1912-25). --
There are similar styles as well. Based on the part that wraps the manifold I'd say its what dated as 19-23 . The difference too were because of the manifold clamps and carburetor rods ---

Looks like Lang's may have one

Thanks. I’ve heard the repops are pretty cheap. I’ll see if I can find a good original, either the ‘18 and earlier version or the ‘19-‘23. Thanks for your help.

I have correct carb pipes available for your '18. I'll send you a private message.
