throttle bods

ive nailed the gsxr bods to my zetec/dcoe inlet manifold,the spacing is a little different tho,i can cut and extend the plain fuel rail pipes but the one with the fuel inlet on it,there isnt enough room/pipe to extend with the hex getting in the way.
so what have you lot done?

There's just enough room to do a cut and shut



I did it twice to get a feed and return and just used high pressure hose and fuel hose clips to do it. Works a treat..
Thats at DCOE spacing of the bodies

Extend the middle one bend the outer two.
I got an 8mm plastic T from B&Q I think. I keep meaning to replace it with a metal one but it's worked ok so far...a few thousand miles done.

Conrod,

I gave up and splashed out in the end and bought an extra t-piece from a Suzuki dealer. Think it was about 30 quid though so not exactly locost

Bending tends to run the risk of bending the spindles.

I spot welded a couple of plates onto the existing ones.

thought about damaging the spindles,was going to drill n tap 3mm,2.5 mm drill is to small for the tap,gave up and had a cuppa after that
