almost there

bracket

basic net of stainless plate to be fitted prior to folding

almost there lads......no more struggling for me

once it's all up n' running, I'll e-mail peeps a set of dimensions for the bracket...

also took out the osf front foglight to check under the bonnet, albeit a bit tight, it DOESN'T clash under the bonnet, just touches an electrical plug on the headlight at most...

not all coops are adjusted the same, but you'll be ok

oh.......I can fit a bigger filter if needed now....almost 3 times the size of the OEM shite

just need to carefully chop up the black shroud that normally resides there & it all looks factory

Looking good Taz

Looks like some thoroughly interesting reading on the table there, the professional engineer

I must have mislaid my copy of the sport

oh......think auto don't know much about cars.....the bloody take off plate on the coop is a M20 x 1.5, notr a frigging 3/4" UNF......dead handy when you've just taken off the undertray & it's all on axle stands & you've removed the filer

quick mod at work today sorted it...so hopefully later this week, I'll have the energy to fit it & run the hoses to the new filter.....

the bracket is tough enough, but you'll have to hold it slightly when fitting a new one, as it's only as stiff as the panel that supports the washer bottle

still.......it will do the job very neatly

How does london plan to abolosih the dirty lorries Taz??

looking good though my old mucka cant wait to see a kit ready to roll, maybe get some extra plates made up for people in kit form with nuts and bolts taz if you have some spare time, save people messing about and stuff if you can do a run of them Id love to get it and just paint it up as well as im not a bling like man you im afraid

Very nice <shouts group buy group buy>

well, it's all done ( ok, I have just chucked the horns back in place as the coop is off on it's 2 week sabattical for a rebuild soon.... )

BUT, the pipework all fits almost as OEM, it can run alongside the original oil cooler pipework, there is still an issue with tightening the friggin 2 off nuts that secure the remote hoses to the takeoff plate by the block : I am sure that a tool will have to be supplied with a kit ( like a plumbers / sink wrench )

even so, still managed to get it all in, hoses are just a prototype & think auto will be getting a call for some proper length braided jobbies.

Also in my rush, I chopped up the plastic ECU diagnostic plug holder a bit too much, so a new one will be reworked with a little less butchery

hoses from the block : nice raduis bends

and the final product


all done ( shite pic, camera phone !! )

cheers

That looks really good Taz. A job well done!

That looks superb Taz, please let us know what they would offer for a group buy of say 5 as i reckon a few of us would want them and get them sorted asap before its too cold for all this faffing about under bonnet as i have 2 services due in the coming month really

....will try matey, I haven't even contacted them yet, as they now need to make up some final lenght hoses.

TBH, I was a tad annoyed at them last week, when I asked them about the range of fittings, the sales bloke was a bit of a wanka, so my opinion of them is a bit tarnished.

Either way, I'll supply them with a list of bits needed to make a kit, if they choose to sell it, well, they will need someone else to push it...

I really don't want to organise another group buy

will let you know next week when I send them the details & some pics.

Either way, it's still a bit of work to fit, as undertray has to come off, as does the horns etc ( which I still have only chucked back in : EG : a proper braket still needs fabbing up )

99% done tho'

Well my horns will come off at some point as they are rusted like burger baps, and i dont run an undertray at all

Well, as I have the undertray, bumper, horns etc. off anyway

Thanks Taz
