Looks good, but unless that's you, you've missed out LOL

But seriously, if fitted correctly I don't see why it should leak. Ask him when you buy it if he has blanking plugs for the spare holes. Might save a bit of running around...

Yes Matt....fitted one the other week - similar design but in blingy crome - make sure you PTFE the blanks as mine leaked before I sealed them!

Seem to work very well tho & it makes for a very neat installation!!

Yeah engine starts & runs, bit lumpy & keeps eating plugs cos its overfuelling like a bitch on idle due to the cam I've got in it - emissions on the MOT are going to be interesting!!!

Got one ready to fit Makes fitting gauge senders alot easier. Mine are Defi senders which are quite small anyway.



Had to modify the remote filter housing (mines a 4x4) to get it to tighten up. Had to remove a couple of threads.
