Couldn't find one over here for less than £13 so I made one.

Cheers John you were my inspiration, thanks for all those pipe clips skov.

All plumbed in now.

Air system................check
Fuel system................check (when I get hold of 8x fuel clips)
Exhaust system................check (kind of, it's that comedy exhaust I made)
Cooling system................check

Even connected an engine earth last night.

Still got to come up with a gearbox mount and then it's wiring. I want to fit the battery in the back above the diff like the mx5. Can anyone tell me if the IVA manual mentions fuel tank proximity for the battery??

Edit: I can't find anything!
