Ahh, i don't have my engine cover on anymore as the silicon intake pipe made it too awkward to fit...

Those that are interested - does that make a difference? (engine cover?)

The bracket can actually be bent to angle downwards a little, which should help if the engine over touches it...

Yeah if it doesn't work with engine cover by design then I'm not interested sorry.

Kim, The design looks good mate and I don't think the bracket needs to be changed, just the peeps installing may need to substitute the bolts with round heads. Probs get from SuperCheap etc for $4. A step bend would help but not essential. A trial fitment should sort it out ;).

Tried the stock engine cover... it fits alright - it does press against the bolts I have used, but I'd say it has enough flex in it to still be able to fasten the engine cover down. I'd say using flatter bolts or bending the bracket downwards before fitting should avoid this.

Send me a PM if you want one and I'll get a new order happening in a week or so (Kekotic, BigBADbenny?)

Thanks again Kim, awesome little bracket! :)

Highly recommend if anyone still wanted one, the fit is great and it looks much better than anything I've seen done with the pierburg 3 port.

Will post some pics

Cool cheers :) The others are still at the fabricators, i've made them 5mm longer as per alexeiwoody's suggestion (will make for easier fitment) - plus the rear hole pre-drilled a bit bigger so the stock map sensor bolt fits through easier.
Does your engine cover fit fine with it installed?
