91 Ford Ranger Air Intake Issu

[muwaha]

Hey All,

I hope I'm posting in the right place.
I have a 1991 Ford Ranger V6 3.0L.
The air intake hose is bad causing additional air to get into the hose itself that sits between the MAF and the butterfly on the engine.
I cannot find a replacement online or at my local junkyard.

I've thought about going aftermarket but it seems that the metal piece on the engine that goes to the butterfly is too small for any aftermarket solution to work so I'm thinking I'd need to fabricate an adapter.

I wanted to see if anyone else ran into this issue and what was the solution?

Gorilla tape? It's pretty sticky, and black.

I did that a few years ago and though that helps the middle portion so to speak, I guess the heat of the engine made it lose it's adhesive.
Even though I have the clamps on the air filter housing and the butterfly, air is still being sucked in, no matter how tight I make those hose clamps.
I can put my finger near the ends of the hose where it connects to the throttle body/butterfly and the air filter housing and feel additional air being sucked in.
