I got them from Vehicle Wiring products, IIRC. Should get them from a decent motor factors, though, if in a hurry.

Got some mate but thanks for looking. BnQ beleive it or not, 19mill polly. And a load of other tat that mite have done. But the 19 mill just about fitted with a fight. It had even stopped raining by the time i got back.

 Went well in the end. Didnt even remove the hbv just cut the pipe with a knife and poked the elbow in. Vap  mounted to wing, coolent pipes plumbed in and inlet manifolds back on.

Loom and fuel pipes to injectors in the morning...well, lunch time hopefully. :-)

Did you see my post re ecu sighting and loom root(roughly)? And will i def have to remove the injector loom cable tray ? Left it no for the min incase they get mixed up.

Cheers guys.

Chris :-)

Makes Life easier if you remove the cable tray :y :y

I mounted my ECU behind the bumper with the S/L pump but it's tight on space and loom length ::) ::)

I routed the loom accross the front of the engine and into the V for injectors and accross behind the bumper for Engine ECU connectors

ok ready for the plenum to go back on, except i cant bring myself to drill a hole in it (plenum) for the vac feed to vap is it? (brass cross piece in line with the fuel line)

Anyway, is there anywhere else i can run it from? i hate making ireversable changes to expensive bits of metal :'(

Sorry... Was busy earlier when I saw this!

I believe you can take it from any vac line as it is only a reference but... Drilling and tapping the plenum is a tried and tested location... You've already drilled and tapped the manifold so why worry about this one?

IIRCC there's a cople of plastic T's for vac pipes in the kit but TBH I'd take it from the plenum... That way it can't interfere with anything and nothing can interfere with it :y :y :y

Don't be such a poof... It's easier than drilling/tapping the manifold for injectors :y :y :y

As for the ECU wires... If you have enough slack in the loom then solder straight to the back of the pins... I didn't quite have enough so I just stripped the insulation back and soldered the wire onto it... Then re insulated... Job done :y :y :y

The vac pipes already there give an accurate vac reading. T off those.

Make sure you don't put the tee downstream of a reservoir though, or it will not be happy. Take it straight from the tee in the brake servo hose.
