I've seen a lot of variation and am just rearranging my bay a bit to fit a pre cooler. Just wondered, does it have to be mounted flat and level as they always seem to be from what I've seen?

Anyone know please?

 

can be mounted any where fella inner wing etc, AS autos do a mount for them but i just made one up

 

Will work fine at any angle.

anywhere mate as long as you have the wire connected

 

fitted mine on the side of the airbox, so was very hidden.

 

& a pain to get to in Germany

 

yep

indeed its not easy if you want to adjust the jetting on your amal valve

 

Go for a pro alloy bracket job done

Got one Charlie mate - it just looked a bit big and in your face / in the way to me??

Had the amal hidden under the front lip before this and could keep it there if I angled it - easy to get off too so it will stay that way now I reckon

Learned that the Airtec pre cooler doesn't fit the standard 500 as the pipes foul the crossover pipe. Darn it!!

 

The very 1st Amal valve bracket when Pro Alloy started off. I gave them some dimensions & they made this....

 

Old you can just see above the ic



New

 

andy you need a turbo cooler

 

dont i'll end up with half your car................

 

Mine's still where Ford intended...You'd have thought that the aftermarket coolers would make provision for it somehow.

 

andy, thats the plan mate

 

Neat bracket Andy - top job pal!!
Airtec are taking my pre cooler back as it will need modding. Have the Pace one from Build 16 fitted and used the original rs500 intercooler brackets inverted - works a treat. Still no room for the original rs500 rail and mount for the amal though so done a temp job for the moment.
