I bought some longer bolts for the supercharger bracket, along with a big bag of washers so that I could get the position right. I taped the washers into three equal stacks, and hung it all to see where it sat. The bolts were a little long, so I chopped a bit off the end of them all and did it all again. After fitting spacing and re-fitting for a few hours I had it all sat where I wanted it and it now cleared the accesories easily. I also had a bit more clearance on the inlet so it should go together without too much hassle now. I taped up the tubing and got the old inlet manifold down from the roof to strip out the fittings.

They were all filthy so they got dropped into a cup of thinners to clean them up. I also cleaned up the PCV and the throttle cable bracket and fitted those to the engine. I put the map sensor in and then got the throttle cable out to measure up to cut it to length. I drilled the firewall and ran it all through before realising I’d left the spacers that straighten it out so pulled it out and did it again. I lay all the wiring out as well to see what would fit and what needed extending. The entire right hand side will need extending by about 6 inches so thats a job for next week. I’d better order up all the fittings so I can plumb it too.
