Title: Pipercross air intake *missing piece*
Post by: remlapeel on 14 April 2015, 19:12: Hey guys, it's a long shot, but I have lost a support bracket for my air intake. It's the piece that goes from the engine block to the intake pipe and is bolted on. I seem to ha e lost it somewhere. Anyone have a spare to sell or know where I can get one?

Pipercross said I have to contact a distributor but I don't know of any.

May i never slag of halfords again! Rocked up expecting to have to buy a load of bolts and beg for a spanner, one of the technicians came out, found a spare bolt and TWO washers and fitted it for me there and then, no charge, just asks that I give him a good review! Bargain!

Not sure if they spare random brackets tho Rem, sorry :whistle:

Post by: GrahamFR on 15 April 2015, 18:01: He put two different types of washer on and made a point of it so im sure thats one of them, funny tho as I'm sure the original bolt came with a fancy washer too, design flaw maybe?
