I’m confused. What am I to use the fiberglass for? That thing that was in the valley on top of the hoses?

 

The fiberglass would obviously be a substitute for the “thing”.

If it were me, I’d wrap the hoses both under and over with a thin layer of of the fiberglass cloth, the same stuff you can get at any hardware store that’s used to wrap water pipes to keep them from freezing.


the idea would be the same purpose as “thing”; to keep some heat (from the supercharger?, or the engine?) away from being absorbed elsewhere. If the hoses benefitted from a little insulation , all the more better.


Putting these hoses under the intake was fine for cars that lasted 10 or so years. For cars needing to last 25+ years, not such a great plan.

if and when my car is ever apart, I’d seriously consider a secondary solution of routing all the hoses to a more accessible location.
