Wasn't me, Bryan.:nonod:
It was a pain getting it out, but made easier for me because I'd already taken out the standard airbox.
I just removed the Viper system and eased the manifold out that way.:yesnod:

Posted 13 years 6 months ago #23947With the strut you mentioned, its listed on Rimmer Brothers as no longer available, I checked for someone else a few weeks back
BUTTTTttttttttt Brown & Gammon have them, they are only £10 if you wanted to stick one on,
I'm not sure if that includes the spacer or bolt though

What's your view on them? Necessary or optional?:dunno:

I noticed that there are two 'extra' bolts that you use at the top of the inlet to head joint that are not used on the plastic manifold, and assumed these were for support as well. So I bunged a couple of 8mm bolts in there too just for good measure - I am sure it is supported enough personally.
