I've done it both ways and this way is quick to do and provides much better access. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just put it back together with the old ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty cheap from Ford. It's a job you will only want to do once so do it properly Edited 15/04/15 07:28 PM by bamk2f6tornado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty cheap from Ford. It's a job you will only want to do once so do it properly^this...however in a pinch they can be reused and reannealed to soften them up. In the past when I have not had spares i've resurfaced them on a flat smooth piece of concrete then used the gas hob to anneal (soften) the copper again.But for all that effort and the risk of a leak...get new ones!

Someone used some aeroflow fittings & P clamps to mount the filter to the front of the block instead of the side. It had a list of the bits he used. Can anyone point me in the right direction?I think from memory it's as simple as swapping the lines over.So the one that goes from block to filter, now goes from turbo to filter and vise versa.I found these clamps on EBay for cheap.I have purchased in -6 for a project, but do come in other sizes.Will give feed back when I receive them.Ebay item number 191545385932 Edited 16/04/15 09:37 AM by GeGe6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
