Spec C inlet manifold fuel rail question
 

Hi all, I've fitted a Spec-C inlet manifold to my WRX (2002) I had to fabricate some brackets to allow fitment of my Perrin Fuel rails (these fit straight onto std tumblers). Does anybody know of a supplier of brackets to fit std pattern fuel rails to the Spec-C inlet. I see Gruppe-S sell them with their manifolds but having contacted them they will/do not supply them seperately.

The brackets I have fab'd up do the job but due to the number of washers used to space it out is not particularly user friendly when/if I have to remove it!

I have access to a CNC milling machine and could make some billet Alu ones up myself but as I don't have a spare manifold to mock it up on I can't measure up and design one.

36 views and no ideas? Am I the only person to do this?

It's not the Spec C bit, but the fact that the Manifold is JDM...... if I understand what you are referring to, as the rails not lining up with the bolt holes on the manifold.

I doubt you would be able to buy the brackets off the shelf, but they would be easy to make up. Even if the bracket had no bolt holes and you drilled these yourself. Maybe worth speaking to CDF Racing who advertise on here.

The JDMs have the same fuel rails, it's the fact the Spec- C mounts lower down. The problem with getting them made up or remaking them myself is that I need the car and can't have the inlet off for long enough!

Instead of a stack of washers, why not cut some tube to size for the bolts to go through?

These are Spec c fuel rails (passenger side). On std fuel rails, that bracket being held is flush with the fuel rail body.

I was hoping to find somebody who'd already made up a bracket. I could make a neater solution up myself but it would involve the car being off the road for too long. I wonder if there's a way to accurately measure the Spec C rails to give an idea of the bracket design needed.

any ideas?

Get a hire car :D

Any cheaper ideas?

I was looking for them for a while too,

I know Gruppe-S sell them, but you have to purchase the manifold too.
