Show us your engine bay!

8vmatt, could you take another pic of how you have connected the bracket to the engine that holds the BMC? :)

 

Yep I can do for ya.

 

To start with, there is a flat metal strip that came in the BMC box. Just cut about a 3" piece and bend into an L shape. 1" by 2". Drill out one of the holes in the strip at the long end. You need this hole to clear one of the engine bolts on that side of the engine. Undo the bolt and feed the strip onto it and tighten. Now you can bolt the filter strap to the metal strip. Ta Daa!

Indeed it is matey!

 

I bought a BMC cleaning kit the other week and gave it a wash and then put some oil on it. DONT DO IT! It must have been causing my MAF problems as the revs would dip occasionally and sometimes caused the car to stall - until i washed it all off :?
