Tell them it's Ford argent silver, from the 1970s. Duplicolor made (may still make) the color too. It's an FM number, as in Ford Motor. They should be able to find it for you now. Bob /// or try http

You ask about excess fuel pressure--what fuel pump are you using? SU carbs are happy with 2.5-3.5 psi, which is what the SU pump provides. Some other pumps pump higher pressures, too high for the SU,

If you can't find the right hose from a source in the UK, compare the size of the old vent tube to the hosing used for USA shop vacuums. If the size is right, the vac hoses should do the job for you.
