S2 specific custom parts

[add]

how about a decent bleed nipple arrangement on the matrix hoses insted of that crappy plastic one that breaks everytime?
I reckon that could be a winner...

I think the market is to small to make parts like this. Solutions are quite easy to come by on your own if you just put your mind to it. Most people that own these cars are technically minded in some way.

@ Paul's fuel pressure gauge request. I have a box of senders that will do the job but i think that there would be little market for this so i dont bother doing anything about it.

Also 83mm head gaskets, i have the tooling made for them but the cost with no profit is crazzy and takes alot of time up.

FP gauge was just an almost random example... easy to find a suitable gauge (just for use inside engine room vs cost of running electrical sensor), but not so easy to source right size T-piece with quality connections of right size for a nice elegant solution.

Using something like a oil pressure gauge adaptor from speed flow tapped into a OEM rail with a take of to a cheap sensor would be cool. This might only cost about £30 in parts (not included a guage)

@ lind4hl, just drawing up an outlet now. Problem going from ABY to metal one is that the ABY one has a larger OD so any water hose that's been on there for a while will be stretcehd slightly, will take this into account.

How about the brace that come with the neu-speed rarb? I could do with some as i have a whiteline and they don't come with them.

Just an idea for ya.

Never seen under the backside of an Avant. If there was one on the drive, it would be quite a simple job. Are the Neuspeed braces weld in or bolt in?

[lind4hl]

Rusty, these pics are from today actually

They are bolt in and an easy fit

[Rusty]

Thanks for the pics, look like welded plates, would need a pair to make a jig from, not a cheap option. A decent fabricator could make them on a car quite easily. Jig welded ones might be up to £100 a pair for a small batch.

[lind4hl]

yes, that´s why i never made them...

it is 2 flat steel (approx) 20mm width 100mm long and 2,5mm thick and 150mm 10x10 bar and 4 m8 holes

Jamo might got a pair of these soon

You reckon the fuel rail is thick enough to be tapped like that ?

Anyway - I was figuring on a T-piece into the pipe that feeds the fuel rail.

Might be worth another thread so you don't lose the info?

I have to say your snub mount is rather nice.

Other ideas-rear strut brace that is easily removable? Just something i was daydreaming about for when my coupe gets on the road.

[Rusty]

Just getting a price on the snub at the mo, it's gone up a bit due to machining costs.

Rear strut brace is a good plan, really should be welded the turrets, I'll look tomorrow as I've not got an interior past the front seats.
