Fao CDA owners (172 only)

Any pictures of the installation?

 

[philip]

no but its very simple. get the BMC SP08 instead of the std BMC. Its shorter and allows a better installation. The trick is then to install it as near vertical as you can (45 degrees on mine) with the hose going towards the bottom, feeding through the lower front grille. The supplied hose (metallic feel) is utterly useless and needs to be replaced with a proper flexible hose.

And did you get a bracket with the kit, or have to make one up?

 

[philip]

there was some kind of bracket. useless though. Why exactly do you want a bracket???

 

[jon_r]

well what holds it steady?

 

[philip]

at the top, its secured on the induction elbow to the TB. At the bottom, the induction hose fits very tightly towards the bottom of the engine bay. You then use a tie clip going through the metal arm above the battery (theres a conveniently situated hole just for that) and thats it.

thanks philip.

There is a pickie on the box of mine (16v) fitted to the 172. Could scan it in at home, or take a pickie with my phone and email.
