[davemate]

anyone interestd in meeting up and doing inlets together? having somone else around to say "no you are drilling the wrong part", or "no its the wrong way round" would really help me! i am around the bury st edmnds area but willing to travel.

Excellent work as always Mark. You'll be a seasoned pro at inlet manifold removal with all the ones you have done of late

[bohemoth]

whats the modded alternator for

[luna_s]

the manifold won't fit unless you do the mod

[slindborg]

which alternator did you have?

[luna_s]

100 amp,

[slindborg]

handy I'm jsut gonna whip the lump off the end of the manifold anyway.... just in case

[luna_s]

heh well, my original alternator was broke, i sourced another, which i sold to p4cks, then i sourced another tbh i want to have a good look on just how much clearance is actually needed, - i'll stick my head under the car when its a bit drier there must be literally mm's in it

[chris_uk]

if i bought all the bits and came up to yours would you fit it for me?

[luna_s]

of course well if we ever get a dry day that is........

[jimmymac]

or not freezing your tits off! I can vouch for lunas cups of tea..he fitted my vse top lad

[Arnie]

Fitted mine as well over the weekend - pretty straight forward I modded the manifold and the alternator as I have a 120 amp. I've done about 100 miles since and i'm really please, though it encourages you to take it right upto the rev limiter

I thought that I'd been keeping a track of the development of this mod... but I've obviously missed something! I thought you needed the 100amp alternator to fit the manifold, however you have mentioned a mod to the manifold to allow the use of the 120amp alternator. Could you expand on this? Any photos?

Cheers.
