i looked at RCM carbon, £112:eek:
took me about an hour to make and fit
pop round mate and we will sort one, foc to you;)

Sorry Ricky, I'm going to High Wycombe, he's not coming to me. The car is fine to drive now, we just need to wind the boost up whilst sorting the oscillations:?

sorry Jon, roger clarke do the ally one for that price
some places do them for £40

and costs an hour labour:thumb:
i know how you like a bargain Jon;)

Paid £20 for mine:norty:

Pete, is it possible to make a classic one?

Mmmm classic ones will look great on our cars mantazini

Budgie,

you been having issue with it throwing coolant out of overflow tank on track?

Simon

thats correct Simon
why, do you have the cure?:)

if anyone has a pattern i could probably knock a few polished stainless ones up. ;)

yes replace head gaskets :(

Foc me?.............Oh Foc to me!:lol1:

I will take you up on that mate I'm always available so just let me know when I can pop over and do some measuring?

I was gunna do it out of sheet metal and paint it as not keen on bling under the bonnet but your Perspex plexi idea just the ticket MR B'.
