Hi all,
I have refined the design for the above fitting so that it can now be held in place with 4 small zipties rather than the previous method using safety wire. Its a bit fiddle to get the zipties lined up right but I think its something the average owner can do. Let me know what you think.
The plastic part is from the 1.4 motor but its the same size/shape as the top of the thermostat housing on the 1.8 motor. The grinding marks on the side are to allow the zipties to sit closer to the side of the fitting and I would probably grind these a little deeper. I could machine a slot on the milling machine but thats really too much work fr what I am trying to achieve.
