Good work mate

 

Cheers Alex, exhaust was a pain to get fitted, so I didn't as this one really fits a saloon rather then an estate, so ordered a Maniflow RC-40 for an Estate, hopefully is here on Tuesday......made a peddle box brake switch mounting plate  for my early peddle box so I can fit a brake light switch bracket for the switch, so in a nutshell, change from pressure brake light switch to electric brake light switch. Did't like to weld in the cabin again but had to be done.

after a bit of effin and so, brake lights switch working and lights are on/off when need to.....chasing wires for an hour or so, current was all over the place, ended up to be the new fuse box with the old fuses in it, to much pay so not enough conduction, sorted that and all good. tmz new exhaust arrives,  Maniflow RC-40 will fit that one on the 2nd perhaps and do a tuning session on saturday/sunday.......getting close

Hi Freaker, do you have an estate? if so this is the Maniflow code from MiniSpares;  C-ARA339   which is a twin box, I have an LCB with a Y-piece and fits no problem about 1 hour tops to sort it. Hope this helps
