It begins...

[plumb bob]

So Andy, is this tube 50mm ID or OD?

If OD would ABS or MUPVC plumbing fittings do the job?

[Apache]

Not sure Rob, got to do some more measuring later in the week when I start taking stuff apart. Pressure isn't that high at about 13psi max, and temp should be manageable, but as Mark's offered stainless, I aint turning that down

[Antshiel]

does the bend need to be in rubber hose could it be in stainless steel??? if so let me know and i'll sort something out for you.

Do you fancy knocking up a side exit tail pipe bend for me too?

yea if you let me know what size you want and how many degrees on the bend.

[Antshiel]

Thuper duper, i'll get it measured up tomorrow. AndrewC might want something fabbing up too so i'll ask him to pm you. Cheers Mark.

Like this? Standard bits.

[Antshiel]

Similar but not through the bumper, just a turn out behind the mud flap.

[Apache]

Check out http://www.jetex.co.uk. Its where I got the bits for mine.

[Antshiel]

Did you weld it yourself. I aint no good with fire. I melted my trousers today with an angle grinder!!

[Apache]

No, I have a mate who welds.

Even he would say though that the bit for the turbo pipe is better done by someone with more experience than he!

[Antshiel]

Think i'll leave it to Mark then.

[Apache]

I've finished modifying the mounting points on the scoop to suit the surf bonnet, so maybe tomorrow lunchtime I'll get the scoop mounted and that will give me definitive answer on where to cut t'hole!

Mark, I'll work out what I need in terms of pipework and adaptor plate.

[Antshiel]

Kewl, any pics?

[Apache]

Not yet. Hope to have some tomorrow if I get the scoop mounted.

[Apache]

Got scoop fitted - looks like a factory fit! No pics as yet as getting dark now, but will take some tomorrow. I'll also measure / sketch out what I need in the way of pipework.

Thursday, will be cutting hole in bonnet, fitting BJ spacers, and possibly rack if mounts arrive.
