Cool guessing it’s a case of top plate above, rest of it below and try to get them level

If you go to CB Autos website and the cookbots are listed out of stock, message them and they’ll list a set for you (they did for me)

Yeah it was very reasonable considering what they cost brand new.
I had toyed with the idea of getting an LSD but the cost was hugely off putting but stumbled upon this one on eBay and thought sod it this is my most cost effective option of going this route.

I've also sourced a very cheap 4th gear input shaft support which should come next week.

Next on the bargain hunting list is steel shift forks...

Comic book time!!

Fitted the new OE dv and replaced the hose between the intake pipe and puck. Its an inch or so longer than the one that was on there. Now the puck sits higher than the top of the catch tank (slightly).
There was mayonnaise in the pipe i replaced, which means its getting into the tip n turbo. Getting me down now and cant figure out what to do next.

Why can't you just cut the red pipe shorter to lower the puck?

I want it higher. The idea being to try to make the path from the catch tank to the puck an up hill one to reduce the moisture to it. I know it wont stop the moistutre in the vapour, more the droplets.

 

[Thai-wronghorse]

Any higher and it'll touching the bonnet. Other than that you'll need to lower the catch can.

Yeh, its just shy of the top edge of the heat shield.
As for the catch can, the screws are barely long enough to go through the brackets they do. So will struggle to put spacers in(could source longer screws).
