similar to mine but looks too bulky
you will need an adaptor plate as well
it will depend on how much space you have between the bulkhead and the engine


as you can see it gets very tight

That exact one i have fitted to my S1, its not as bulky as it first looks. I had to modify mine slightly to fit, but that was only because of some mouldings on the bulkhead. I didnt use an adaptor plate, i have a plate on the other side of the bulkhead just to make sure it cant flex. Works very well.

You can just about see it the picture below, ignore the piston though
