  1. Loads done but doesn't look like much

    Both manifolds are finished and fitted

    New top plate which is offset to clear the fuel rail but still let's me use the turbo hats that I previously made

    [​IMG]

    So the throttle bodies are sandwiched between mounting plates with O rings top and bottom ,you can see the minimal clearance between fuel rail , 4 bolts ensure a leakproof

  2. Fitted need to adjust a few things as the throttle bodies are lower than the carbs

    air intake sensor ........
     
  12. they work great ....when I made them there was nothing else available.....from memory they are 8mm steel and with the holes not really heavy .....no way they would bend or impale passenger due to the lower support

    cylinder head temperature sensor fitted ..its a modified water cooled one ....attached to cylinder 3 using heat transfer paste and a bolt obviously.......

  18. been having servo issues so changed for the Brazilian one as its loads cheaper , as I have 944 rear brakes I changed the mastercylinder whilst I was at it to a 944 23/19 as opposed to the bay 19/19 jobbie ....this caused problems as I couldn`t find a reservoir to suit so made one....
