Default Turbo heat shield bracket?

Because I have removed my airbox and now use a cone filter there is nowhere to fit the top mounting point of the turbo heat shield. It is now only held in place by the bottom and middle mounting points.
Has anyone made a bracket for theirs or do most people just leave it with 2 mounting points?

When i put a k&n cone filter on mine it came with a bracket in the kit.

Should be easy to make one though.

Default bracket

Simon Day

hi m8,found the bracket...although you will have to find the nut and bolt that u need to fix the bracket onto the heat shield/body. im sure this is the bracket you need as the only other bracket supllied in the K&N kit is the bracket to hold the 2 air feed pipes to the cone and that isnt straight like ths one....i hope this is the one u need. Just send me your addy and i'll put it the post 4 u 2moro,if u can send us your details b4 2nite i can send it tomor otherwise im out of town for a few days and i will have 2 send the bracket when i get back.

cheers

Rob
