Marcus,

Can your current box not be repaired? What's wrong with it / them?

All the trumpets that attach to the purple pipes are starting to deteriorate/breakdown and some of the sealant is starting to come astray!! After the amount of time spent painting calipers, its just another job I haven't got the time for! I don't mind getting stuck in, but I've got so many other things to do, I just can't see myself fitting this one in!

Cheers

I did read the whole thread, it just seemed that the poor guy was being slightly forced into doing it - I know what its like when others require your services, its hard to say no.

Do you need the airbox or the backplate and trumpets? Or both?

Having had another look, I suppose I just need the backplate and trumpets.

They just fit on behind the back plate do they?

I'll give ACT a ring...

Mind you if Ridds is still making his, they did look pretty good quality - any chance ?

As per email Marcus, can do them. Have a few for others to do as well.

Send me some pics of the backplates if you can. I may be able to sort them out.

I think they'll be ok, but I won't know until I get them out, as I have to drive the car every day and its just finding enough time to get it all done and back together.

By the way, I must say that I have found the black loctite sealant to be excellent, although a little expensive.

Marcus my mail to you bounced. Wil try again.

Yep that stuff is good, not sure how it compares price wise to Sikaflex / Tigerseal though.
