uk-rich Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 i have been busy over the last few weeks, took forever to make the edges follow the underside of the bonnet properly, but got there in the end ! When the bonnet is closed, it sits firmly against the black edging strip, creating a seal. (i will get a pic from underneath) i still get the induction roar, due to gaps where the bonnet meets the wing made from 2mm aluminium, and then chromed by colsoop i have been thinking about becoming a hobbyist to sell these, so if any interest from members, i will contact mawby and get something sorted (hopefully !)

colsoop Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Looks very good, i couldn't visualize where it was supposed to fit but it all makes sense now I see you fitted the pipe as well, that was quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Looks great rich:cool: but would the hole for the intake pipe not be in a different place on most singles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Can you fit these on a stock twin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 i can't see why not, i will supply the heat shields "un-finshed" so you can cut out any holes that you require for your application. "un-finshed" means, the sheild shape will be there, with mounting holes, cut outs for clearance etc, but no holes for boost pipes etc, this way each one can be taylored to your needs cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Yeah I'd be very interested in this if I could fit it on to my TT with Blitz induction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 How have you ran that cold air feed through the side of the bay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Rob said: How have you ran that cold air feed through the side of the bay? It is routed through where the stock ic pipes would go as Rich has the phr single (i think) they route the intercooler pipe differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
