Backbox fitting MY02
Hooray, new Hayward & Scott backbox arrived today.
Have searched but couldn't find:
I know its easy, have all the tools etc. Just wanted a bit of advice whether there is a preferred sequence for trying to detach the existing mounting rubbers and attach the new ones? Attempting to minimise risk of scraped knuckles and time spent lying on back supporting heavy piece of steel with one hand. Is it better to remove exhaust from rubbers leaving them on the car, or remove backbox with rubbers, swap to new exhaust and refit.
What is the best jacking point?
that kind of thing.
TIA.

It's a piece of p1ss.Leave the rubbers on the exhaust and bring em off the car and fit to new exhaust before offering it upto the car.Before anything else,undo the two bolts that hold the bb to the centre section.I've had mine off my car about 5 times cos the Scoobysport one I had was catching a bit (I cured it by having the hanger removed and re-welded in a slightly different position by somebody at work )
Now it's perfect and sounds the business.The downpipe is what you wanna look at doing to gain some extra power (Makes a massive difference on MY01>)
Good luck

Mine's the H&S one and it was catching the rear diff yeah.As I said,I was fortunate enough to have one of the guys at work remove the rear hanger and reposition it.It's now spot on though!!
Good luck with the fitting of yours....

Job done.
Pain to get off the middle rubber, but the new box fitted on really easily. No knocking or rubbing, smells a bit though Really nice noise, just what i was looking for.
