No worries mate! All is good!

Wally, do you have or can you take some good photos of how your intercooler is mounted. I've been going back and forth about air or water and I want to see how you mounted your intercooler. I've been going through different designs in my head but I think they would be flimsy.

Taking a picture is difficult atm. A mainly one sided attachement will always be perceived as flimsy I think, still it holds up for many years without fractures. The other side is incorprated and attached to the duck tail end too of course, but that only does so much.
The intercooler is a strong bar ans plate one with 2 welded in fat M8 studs both top and bottom. The bottom row I connected with a hollow rectangular tube and that (with two braces) is attached to the original hood hinges.
Thats about it..

I might try and do a similar intercooler setup but I'll have to do something with my case/head vents. I wanted to see how you did the bottom mounts for the intercooler, but the pics you have up don't show the mounts cleanly. Are you using steel for the IC mounts and then going to the hinges, or going to where the hinges mount to the body?

I saw this picture on Facebook.


Do you have more pics on your car with that wing mounted?
