[jaffa]

ive got air con fitted on my 4x4 but since ive fitted a strut brace the air con hose is stretched over the top so i need a longer hose fitting anybody got any ideas?

Have a look at a 24V scorp one



Dont look like it comes out at such an angle as yours.

Will it fit? Where it goes into the pump on the 24V is in a differant place IIRC

Are you sure the pipe won't go under the brace?

[Taps]

Are you sure the pipe won't go under the brace?

It would if he used the same brace as yours

[Marty]

Should fit under that

[Taps]

Should fit under that

Must admit I've never seen one go over the bar before

[xr4x4 mk1]

That should go under your bar easily Jaff      It would look a dam site better under than over

tried it mate but the angle it comes out from the bulkhead means you cant push it down to go under the strut brace

The pipe is only alloy, you can bend it

Thats not the correct one for  a 2.9  is it?
 

not sure how that helps you    but i did get to see my motor again without getting cold

yeah it is mate (i think)  plus if it was the same as yours id end up having clearence issues
on the abs like taps is at the moment

The pipe is only alloy, you can bend it

if you bend it it will just crack!
and im tryiong to do the job without breaking anything

[Marty]

I bent the hell out of mine when I fitted the 24V engine, it won't crack
Just apply steady pressure and only bend as much as you need and you won't go wrong. If possible try and bend on the straight and not the bend if possible.

wondered if you'd remember mate    there coming off soon to be polished up and fitted on my TT    






Jaffa,

if you will mess about with new fangled things like abs then you deserve all you get  

on a slighty more serious note, the bloke i got mine from had it fitted onto his 'abs' xr4x4, must have been tight but then if its not touching its ok

Mine is differant to the other two's
However I no longer have mine  
I 'think' it might have been OPM


But the one on my 3dr is 'Wiechers' a German make.

Jaffa's is a GT Performance Cosworth item as there 2.9 one would not fit due to hitting the ABS brake fluid bottle. I bought it at Trax and I tried several at the show and this was the best fitting brace I could find. Gengis has a 2.9 brace on his ABS car but has modified the fluid bottle to get it to fit. I sold it to Jaffa as I could not get it to fit with my supercharger setup. When I had it fitted to my car I did not has Air Con so it was not a problem but I can see your problem Jaffa but are you going to keep the Air con?
