TIP's

Or simply trim with a stanley knife, easy.

Each to their own, I know when i was stood in a pit on a friday night with the car over my head, I had no 1/4" spacer.

unprepared for the job in hand.

Not knowing that i would need a 1/4" spacer, how could i prepare for that?

At the end of the day, mine is fitted, working fine, was trimmed a little, and i'm happy.

Both ways work fine, and arguing over the internet is pointless.

(On the Leon)..there's actually two brackets held by that allen bolt. If you swap them, you get the spacing.

What 1/4 spacer? Doesd this not come with the forge kit?

 

[beezaturbo]

no.

if just try and fit the tip as it is now you need to cut it down to get it past the water pipe. or unbolt the water pipe off the block then fit the tip but you need to refit the waterpipe to the block, so i just used a 1/4" washer/spacer between the bracket and the block then refitted the waterpipe.

Just a quick question on this,
Does the forge TIP work on both a k03 & K03s ????
Just i have both & will be upgrading (don't want to have to buy 2 of them)
Thanks.

 

[acidstrato]

yes, many people have used it with k03s units

 

[godzuki]

yes, many people have used it with k03s units

Thanks for that (its alot cheaper to ask questions 1st)

 

[gavthelad]

just to add to this........i trimmed mine about 10mm, there was absolutely no way it was gonna go on otherwise.

works a treat and is so much better than the standard one!!!

 

[Patrickw]

Just got my new forge tip! Is it supposed to come with a fitting kit (hose clamps etc.)?

 

[gavthelad]

only if you ask for them mate......

Otherwise it will come as a curly wurly bit of pipe.

 

[ganda_cupra]

Don't think they do, I paid extra for my stainless hose clamp kit from forge.

 

[Funkyfin2000]

how much for the fitting kit inc discount?

 

[Patrickw]

Dammit! That means I have to order that and wait some more.

What fittings are in the kit, is it just screw up type hose clamps (jubilee clips)?

Yes - but they are good stainless steel ones.

 

[ganda_cupra]

Think mine were £9.99 plus vat for 6 stainless steel jubilee clips, but bought them at same time as TIP and 007 DV.

 

[gavthelad]

yeah they're about £12-£13 ish
