Its more to do with me not having any tools to make one, plus the fact that you are able to line it up properly.

I just rang mini spares for the bearings, with the exception of the single and double roller as I got them on ebay.

I must say I'm a little concerned how close the DP gets to the clutch slave cylinder. We could do with a heatshield I reckon. We've got some heat shield tube in the garage, could wrap that round the lower part of the braided hose and make an aluminium shield with that crinkly stuff On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Like the exhaust manifold, looks like a good neat job. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Yes, just added a short 45 degree bend. There's a link on the previous page to them new for about £45 delivered. 2" o.d. tube slips straight in them. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
