Jonny5 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 just recently performed this mod myself, and if you can find an ally welder someplace, if you cut of the sensor/ motor flanges close to the body then file them down smooth all thats left is a 10mm hole either side.. I then got the holes welded up, then smoothed over as per pics on mkiv.com looks so much better cheers Jon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny5 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 i got to admit I got the ally welding for nowt, through my work, but it should'nt cost anymore than say £15-£20, as I say it's just blobing up the 2 x 10mm holes that are left... I will get some pics m8 very shortly.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Have you got a blow torch Rob ? I have been experimenting with brazing and for this sort of apllication it works well I could give you some alu weld rods and you could cut the sensors off and braze the holes yourself.
