New ITG Zone Filter Home Made Bracket

[cliffybabe]

I have had a bad weekend with my zone filter The filter bracket gave way ripping down on the balows creating splits etc and in gerneral causing the car the breakdown

I got the car home after some duck tape etc and took off the balows, tomson sent me out a balow yesterday and i fitted it tonight (cheers tomson your a star).

I wasnt happy using metal to hold up the filter so i made my own using a old air box housing

Here's what I done









I have angled the front of the filter down to allow the feed to work, I used a metal bar to steadyt he filter and hold the front end down.

Let me know if u guys think this is ok or any other comments to fix it would be great

Thanks
Neil

P.s. Ill get some pic's of it on the car tomorrow

I have mate, I used the duct ont he tech one kit as a feed point and running it up up neath the cone, Im working on a heat shield at the moment aswell, Im using a old printing plate form my dad's work it should look good once she is done.

I've also left the little feed for the standard box ont he back of the light panel aswell, every little counts

Sure .. might not be today as I'm off to the FCK vs Ajax match.
But it's a large heat reflective blanket that comes with a bunch of cable ties and a plastic strip which you fit around the top (this then touches the bonnet insulation)
They recommend you fit it with a cool pipe ... just an aluminium flexible pipe that you fit one end into the blanket and the other end to the air source .. eg behind the grill.

Quick question Neil,
Did you have all the other bits with the mtech1 front ... brake ducts and the flat bits that go either side ??

Na mate i didnt get those do the brake ducts or under cover's i have all the part number though, Im gonna use the brake duck as a cold air feed

[GDBN]

Where does yout sensor for the OBC temp gauge go ?
Normally sits in the black "lip" but with the new front it sits in the brake duct.
I finally got my pearl beige gear and handbrake gaitors yesterday... they're great.

[cliffybabe]

Id drill a hole in the brake duct for the sensor and fit it in there
