I placed my nozzles higher up the trumpet, like some of the older ideas. Will this be ok or is the way you have done it the way to go
That's pretty much how we did JamesV6CDXs first manifold - and that worked nicely.
Oh, and I see you've ended up securing the tank to the chassis rail... Did you put anything inside or just use the spreader plates? (which I assume were supplied?) I don't see any real need to pack the chassis rail as long as you don't tighten it like a gorilla!!!
I didn't put spacers inside in the end. I meant to, and it's essential for anything that's tight like a towbar mounting, but given that the boot floor is not totally flat and we're mounting it through carpet you can't tighten the mountings much before the tank frame is in danger of getting distorted so I didn't feel it was required. Nylock nuts are essential though, due to the low tightening torque.
These and the plates didn't come in my kit but Jay W expressed surprise that they didn't. Got the plates at B&Q in the end.
How long would you say it would take to fit on your own
It's hard to say. 3 of us have done one in a weekend. With a ramp available it might save some time, but then again, it might prevent people working under and above in parallel.
I'd say you'd need 4 or 5 days to do it single handed but it's difficult to say.
