Jeez, you must have been really pulling your hair out if it took 11 stitches to put it back in....

Hahahahahahha yeah they found a brain in there some where
Little something I've been working on. Have to have an enclosed filter so I bought an Apollo K&N filter but the flange was about a 55mm hole. Talk about restrictive. I wanted to use same diameter pipe from the bommodore so made a mod plate with half a MAF sensor to accept the same pipe.

Very nice! looks pretty neat... unlike the head!

I have a jnt performance enclosed one we used to rego the torana u could have borrowed ugly as sin but did the job..

Took it off now.

[NES304]

Mine keeps it legal Pete! I'll put it through the guard for cold air and leave it rather than sucking hot air from the bay

[FireKraka]

Looking good Marc could you show us a pic of how you have gone through the guard with the filter.

Nup. Only because I haven't done it yet!!

Did the pillar seat belt plates yesterday. Need some paint to finish em

Cut wedge in the side

Slipped a plate with UNF nut inside and dam near dropped the bastard.
Welded up

Put plugs in

Then cleaned it up but have no paint to finish it.... Yet

Hey mate,

What's the idea with coming through the side of the pillar? Is it so the integrity of the pillar where the seat belt is mounted, isn't compromised?

Cheers
Marc

[NES304]

Marc, exactly.
Cheers, Marc

Looking good mate.

Thanks mate.
In the middle of getting paint to respray it and have found that PPG in acrylic is barely sold anymore....😱
Boys at seatbelt solutions can't find a lion in a square and the trapezoid shape one will leave a gap. So I have to go with GM Press. Using black webbing (no inertia belts) it has come up pretty smick.
Bottom mounting point is on the floor and not the pillar for interest sake

[NES304]

See what's wrong in this pic?
They're upside down!😡👎🏻
Had to send em back. Dam those apprentices!!

[VAN059]

Never get an apprentice to do work on your car on a Friday....., cause he'll do to your car what he's thinkin of doin to his girlfriend on the weekend! :o

[JB]

But they were upside down Miss Jane on the 16th of May and you didn't notice.

I used a similar idea on my Vauxhall with the v6 because I found the K&N filter too noisy so I used that alloy piece to retain the hose to the inner guard and then took half the original filter box and filter and bolted it to the other side of the inner guard . It works well because now the engine bay is quiet and intake is cooler .Just have to use a washable filter . Haydn

Apparently you have a week off mid June... are we going to see the car driving at the end of the week. No excuses me thinks!!!

[NES304]

Jesus! No pressure!! Roster gods are trying their best to take it off me... So maybe, maybe not

[JB]

Lol, we are all watching!!
