Had a productive afternoon on the nova today. Few more jobs crossed off the list ready for the rolling road day.
Oil Cooler brackets made up. Need some shorter bolts mind! They were all I had in stock!Also ordered some anti-vibration mounts for the cooler to brackets fastenings.
But still, good trial fit and pleased with the position and fitting
And Pipes worked out just as planned too
Grille still fits with no trimming required, which is a bonus. However the bumper will need some cut-outs around the unions/pipes I think
With the cooler all done I moved onto my new airbox. Got the holes marked up and cut out of the baseplate. It was alot easier to cut with it being a thick plastic, when compared to that of the old ITG backing plate which was metal. Made a neater job of it with no silicon required!
The eagle-eyed will notice that the holes aren't in the centre, but this is A: So the bonnet will still go on, and B: to miss my fuel pressure guage!
All fastened up on the carbs
And filter all clipped in place
Love the look of the bay with this filter onand as planned the bonnet went on a treat with no clearance problems
