Hay bud, as discussed....photos...hope these help.
You can see clearly where they have worn away / warped the bolt holes under load. The worst is the very 'thin' bolt hole in photo 2 and 3. Close to snapping when it came off the car. I have new k-tec brackets (didn't buy them) but i'm going to speak to @Dan@SJM about the potential for a repeat performance tomorrow when he is fitting the kit.

Yep. Came off Dom's BG so had about 16k miles I think.
thanks for that cub
yeah they look trashed, another example of bad engineering , will drop you a pm when i get a set of steel ones made up

have a spare already for when you build your next one :smiley:
here is the one i will take a template from
again you can see some of the damage and the crack that cost Tom an engine
i think most of this will be sorted by making it from steel rather than aluminium

There doesn't seem to be nearly enough material around the fixings, needs to be bulked up I recon!
yeah i agree Chris, fairly flimsy design, looking at the bolt hole that cracked, there is only 1 mm of aluminium on the outer edge of the hole and only 2.5 - 3 mm in depth from where the have drilled for the bolts
making it out of steel should sort these issues though
wonder how many have had these fitted and have had issues with them breaking @tom172cup

If you make a set of brackets I'll buy a set
big boost cup
That's another reason I don't go to gaytec anymore. There workmanship is shite. That bracket of mine has done 8k max
have you tried one of these @DannyR ? I think its the rs tuning bracket?
what problems were you having?
do you have any pictures of it ? as may just design my own

If you need an engineer to machine it out for you let me know, my mates up Bratton Flemming are awesome...

Sorry I do not.
I think the best design is the omex ones, if only it was steel!
It's bulky which is what is needed, them supercharges aren't light!
some recent random updates
got my gearbox back, so gave it a quick clean and decided to paint it in vht black, looks much better
Before
After
also bought some headbolts from Eurocarparts for £28 -Bargain
i was worried about getting a base map, start up calibration for the Omex 600, But after a little search on here, i found out that Omex will make you one for free
Result
So if any one wants a base map for a forged, Supercharged clio on 630cc injectors with a 3 bar map sensor pm me
Currently in Norway for 6 weeks with work, cant wait to get back to start putting it all together

Been slowly buying a few bits whilst in Norway, got back today to get it all
some steering rack bushes, and a 3 bar map sensor from brands hatch performance, seems like they have the best after market copies of the original Weber Marelli sensors,
now to wire it in to an omex
also bought a megane crank pulley but not the bolt ( idiot ) and the head bolts arrived, so now i need my timing tools back @Chi and can make a well well over due start at bolting it toether

Looking forward to seeing this put together
Managed to get my steering rack bushes fitted last week - what a s**t job that was
And today I took a trip to TTS to sort out a larger supercharger pulley, I went to a 90mm instead of the standard 85 mm so I should be able to rev to around 7600rpm without over speeding the charger, really nice guys and have a great workshop, changed the pulley over for free for me . Result
Some nice cars there

pretty sure its a british built car called a contera or something, could be wrong though
Got my new supercharger brackets cut and machined today, should now be 100% more reliable than the other brackets as made of steel not Ali
If any one wants one drop me a pm

Is that it, just one bracket?
Make sure you keep a set aside just in case, one day...
I have a spare for you don't worry, when the time comes
