Mono tuner 350mm.
Bit more kneeroom for my lanky legs, and it's about an inch closer now too, so no more awkward reaching on lock for my lanky arms 😎
Nice job!

Well this evening I had to remove my fuel filter sue to the outlet AN6 fitting working itself loose. Most like due to a couple of bracket bolts that may never have got fitted when the engine last went back in :no: Anyway the fuel leak was spraying the alternator and causing the belt to slip. Luckily no damage done :th:
But as you can see I put it in a lovely place for easy access :facepalm: but I am limited for space :laughing still its better than being in the oem side. Right next to my turbo and exhaust pipework. Anyway a pic because we all like them

Spent a few hours vacuum-cleaning it and got the carpet up on the driver’s side to check if the damp I could feel has caused a problem.

Thankfully not!

Also evicted a few more spiders, spider webs and enough dog / cat hairs to rebuild the animal that shed them.
