[Shotimes] 80mm MAF question

You want to get a 90* rubber elbow from the plumbing department at your
local hardware store and hack it up. I forget the name of the
manufacturer, but the item name on the one I purchased eons back was
"Kwik Ell". The inner diameter of the elbow works perfect for the TB
end, and the bell shaped bigger end works great for the MAF side of
things.

Hope this helps,

I am trying to install a Ford 80mm MAF.

For the tube from snorkel to MAF, Menards sold me a 3" rubber plumbing
fixture that fits nicely over the snorkel on one end, and the other
end
stretched over the inlet side of the MAF.  Does anyone know the
diameter of
the hole to drill for the temp sensor?

Now for the tube from MAF to throttle body.  Can the stock rubber tub
be
stretched enough to do it?  I've been looking everywhere in town and
have
not found a rubber plumbing fixture with the required IDs (3" at TB,
3.5" at
MAF) plus the 45-degree bend.

Ideas please!  Thanks.
