Hi folks.

I may well start making my own versions of these using heat resistant matting and press studs to protect the coilpack wiring which runs across the top of the engine. They would be around £10 which is a lot less than the £25 for the OE product.

Would anyone be interested?

Andy.

Would have been if I had no just bought the Audi one

Good price anyway

Got any pics of these??

Cheers,

I'll get one tomorrow for you.

I might be interested.

Ill see how they come out and cost and go from there. Saves us all a few quid. I have the bits coming this week so will make a prototype and get sizing right and go from there.

The audi one looks like this fitted or this link http://www.ecstuning.com/ES7432/

I'll get one tomorrow for you.

Cool, thanks

Just want to check whether it's the same as the Skoda (Mk2 Octy) one I have....still to fit.....

Steve

is that your engine bay in the picture ?

No

I anyone could measure the Audi one (length by width) thatd be most useful as I could get started rather than waiting for the weekend to come.

I will and post it up

No

I anyone could measure the Audi one (length by width) thatd be most useful as I could get started rather than waiting for the weekend to come.

Length is 15" or 381mm

width is 3" or 76mm

could measure the popper gaps if you are fitting them between the coil plug wiring, unless you are going to use a different fitting?

Is that 3" laid flat?

I have poppers too ready to go

Thanks

Is that 3" laid flat?

I have poppers too ready to go

Thanks

yes 3" laid flat

Thanks. If you have it handy that'd be good otherwise I should be able to work it out from the picture.

Cheers again.

ok from left hand side(cambelt)

spacing is:

31/4" or 83mm on second popper from first one

4" or 100mm on third popper from second.

31/4" or 83mm on fourth popper from third one

41/2* or 114mm on fifth popper from fourth one

do i get a discount

Here are some pics of it fitted:

Went in for a brew (Changed brake pipes and ARB droplinks today ), looked out to find my new helper

Didn't do a very good job though - Left pawprints on the manifold. Grrr!

Is the one you fitted the same as the one on the link? They look slightly different.

Im guessing the initial wiring on the RHS of the engine feeds through the hole in the matting, right?

Thanks again Bowders.

Yeah, it's the same. Might look different because I trimmed the top left corner to go round the bracket which holds the engine cover and trimmed a bit out where the earth bolt for the coils is.

And yes, the wiring goes through the hole.

Great. Ill get cracking with the Blue Peter skills and see what I can come up with!

try and get a stencil made up ... if anyone can just put the audi one onto card and draw around it for u ... then everything would be correct

Cornflake packets at the ready! Thats my weekend task.

Have been meaning to order one of these from Audi but their price is ridiculous!

Is it £25 or more?

Ill knock one up this weekend and then offer them if anyones interested for £10.

When I asked a few months ago it was £25.71

id have one m8 if it was the same dimensions as the audi one :wonder:
