Left over bracket. HELP

  1. The evil garage fairies hid this at the bottom of the box that came back from the powder coasters. I just threw everything I had In to be coated. It definitely came off my 2.0l FI but I don't know where it goes. HELP

    Ha-ha - too kind. :)
     
  6. Yep that's it. I have just paid German supply in Canada a fortune for one as mine was missing. There was an article I read that said this was vital to properly support the heat exchanger. The other side is supported by the continuation of the alternator bracket.
     
  7. Is that for a type 1 or type 4 engine?
     
  8. Thats a rare part - they never usually get put back!

  11. My bus is odd loads of easy to find bits missing but some harder to find bits all there. Just the way I like em
     
  12. Rats. I have the one on the alternator side but not this one.
     
  13. Looks easy enough to make!! :thumbsup:
     
  14. I'll take it back off and photograph it on some 10mm squared board for dimensions if anybody wants to make a copy.
     
  15. I reckon it would be easy to make if you had the tools, I just found them on the German Supply website while I was ordering the clutch spring retaining washer which they also had, he has a pattern and makes them (or gets someone to make them).
