Hi all,
i cant find the answer after search, so wondering if anyone can help?

Does it matter how much of angle you cut off the bulkhead for the plate for the airway pipe?

Just the plate that came with the box is way to small! If i mark it up its only gonna give bout an extra centimeter max at the front to the back, if you understand what i mean!

I have a pic im just trying to upload it off my phone!

thanks anyway,

martin

Cut it at approx 45 degrees,or as big as you can then make your own plate.

Thats what most do

Just another question related to the thread! Can anybody give me the dimensions where the box needs to sit, eg from the R/H clutch master cylinder stud to the edge of the left hand side of the box? The dimensions I have are a little unclear! Dont want to start cutting to find I got it wrong.

Cheers! deano

Hey Deano,

What i did with mine was make it as large as i could but still be able to keep the heater in the car.
And it has worked well for me...as i can get my hands to work on whatever at the back of the turbo and also my carpet inside the car aint that hot.

The dimesions of my box are 380mm width, 190mm High, And a depth of 70mm.

The dimesions of where my box are..... on the RH side where your clutch/brake cylinders are if you measure at the back corner from the Inner guard mine measures 355mm in, on the Front Egde it measures 340mm in, which is very nearly close to the edge of the clutch master cylinder.
If you are wondering why the difference in measurements is beause i have tappered them out so it doesnt look square and plus it adds to extra room.
On the LH Side from the inner guard at the back corner mine measures 190mm in, and at the front edge 150mm in.

Hope this helps.
