Hi there,

Just thought I would post up some photo's of the new location of the Charge cooler as there may have been issues with air lock as pointed out some time ago (Andrew Cooke, if memory serves). I have made a bracket which bolts to the gearbox for support and I have mocked up a new boost run (thanks for the pipes Hamond) and started to heat wrap as I go.

Hopefully this Five should be back on the road shortly after 3.5 years off the road and all major rust cut out and replaced and converted to EFI.

I could never be without a 5:)

Any comments are welcome,

yep, looking very pmt there andy, perhaps a clean up of what looks like rust juster under the header, and perhaps a spun alloy inlet and some silicone hose on the end of that lovely carbon airbox:crush:, :cooter:

Looks like a good position for keeping the air locks out of the cooler mate.
