Ok.... installed...

What . A . Nightmare!!!!

Good luck to anyone putting this simple piece on!! wow.... LOL. i had to remove the power steering tank and drain off the fluid this made a nice mess, luckily i had protected the area enough to cover all bases, this brace connects to the oil filer housing and the spare mouting location under the s/c, i dropped the nut so many times and once particular heart in mouth moment where the washer sat on the openings for the alternator!! one slip and it would have fell into the Alternator unit... honestly doing the valve clearance was easier !!. However if you was to install this fresh on a new kit it would be a breeze as you could route your pipe work differently. Make sure if your installing one of these you really mask up the area, you will damage some of those pretty anodised pieces REAL quick as it just so tight! ( i sadly managed to cause a few nicks here and their but it simply couldnt be helped ) My P/S pipe work is alittle stretched now so ill be keeping an eye on it, truth be told i never want to do that again!!


anyway its on and has *significantly* (80% better) reduced the forward and backward flex i could always replicate on the supercharger bracket which admittedly needed a decent shove to get the flex, their is still some however as you'll never eliminate this totally with a unit this size, but literally its all but gone!! VERY nice piece from ESS!!. Excuse the messy pics their was still some oil present that had made its way into my working area, all cleaned up now and ready for me to add some fresh oil!








Thankyou VERY much ESS, excellent service and the brace is doing its job perfectly!
