Title: Just fitted a K&N induction kit
Post by: Rideandy on 09 January 2007, 12:42

Hello.
I have just fitted a K&N induction kit to my motor, but I am not happy with the way they have said to secure it, it's dancing around Jacko!
Any ideas how to secure better.
Cheers

Yeah brand new came with bracket but not happy with it also seems to close to alternator and not that secure. I have attached to the cover of one of the belts as not long enough to reach anywhere else, but will knock one up like mase did at the weekend

I have not fitted the cold air pipe yet as that seems to be to close to alternator too.
Cheers chaps.

there not very clear mate cos it dark and the torch goin dead
you can sort of make it out
the bracket bolts to the bottom bolt closest to the wing on the adaptor plate in pic one just under the sensor
the bracket bolts onto the top bolt on the turret just above the light in pic 2

put the bracket on the air filter end first then put it all on the car and bolt it to the turret last
thats the easiest way
hope this helps. if not let me no and i will get some better pics in the day mate
