Looking good Tunnie Thumbs Up!

Once you know you don't need the car again, get it in that garage and swap the manifolds over (as it stands is fine as long as you'll be able to get to all the nozzles)... Don't forget to swap your petrol injectors etc onto the new manifold Thumbs Up!

Going to swap the throttle body, but discussing with KW, he said to leave the injectors as they rarely go wrong. With luck i won't be needed them much!

Also got some new spark plugs, loads of anti-freeze so almost all set now.

Do you want to start on the front end first or tank mounting? - If i start removing the manifold, won't be able to move it if it starts to rain Undecided

Can't you squeeze it into the garage and then do it? Leave it there overnight? We'll probably work both ends simultaneously from tomorrow morning Thumbs Up!

Not the end of the world... Tell you what then... Measure up the floor/chassis rails underneath and mark out on the frame where we need to drill the holes to bolt it through... This took me ages when I did mine and I still mucked it up and had to work hard to get it fitted Roll Eyes

Can't actually fit any of the Omegas in the garage, too much crap in there Embarrassed

Bike lives in there too, and its not insured unless its in there.

I'll park it outside and we can push it in, if it starts to rain
