Well I've had another few hours working on the Z getting her ready for the road tonight, but got a couple of questions I'm hoping someone can answer for me.

 

First of all, I've removed the carbon canister (amongst other useless items), and the large pipe is left with nowhere to go (see red arrow).

 

 

But it does T off and the other end goes behind the chassis rail (see green arrow). I have hunted around the net but cannot find any reference to this pipe at all. Do I need to cap the open end?

 

 

 

Secondly... my car is missing an alternator which I am in the process of sorting out, I'm guessing the left hand bracket in this picture is the alternator bracket? Is there anything else I need in way of mounts etc to fit it?

 

 

second item is an idler pulley, is this for the a/c belt? if so I dont need it as I've done away with the air con. And can someone tell me if the rest of the brackets pictured are of any use or what they are for?

 

thanks a lot in advance, help is mucho appreciated!! :bow: :bow:

idler pulley looks like a timing belt one!

could well be... I got loads of spares from a second zed in the boot!

:)

thanks for the link maz, thats what I've been working off. Its a great website and unbelievably helpful.

 

But what it says about the large hose:

 

"Remove or cut all the rubber hoses off, bend the bracket open and pry out the CC. Finish removing the CC mounting bracket by removing the three,10mm bolts that hold it onto the frame rail. Remove all the remaining hoses that were connected to the CC. The large bottom hose from the canister splits into two. Note where the bottom small hose disappears into the frame rail. This will be the connection for the fuel tank vent line from above, if your car has this bottom connection. If not, do not worry.

 

The large, bottom tube from the CC continues up high and connects behind the CC into the frame rail, onto the this metal tube shown here."

 

 

and thats it! although the lasst image looks like he may have taken off the pipe that goes into the chassis rail, I dont know if its important or not?

Baz,

 

from left to right in your picture:

 

A/C mounting bracket and idler pulley,Timing belt idler pulley, RH/LH gearbox to engine brackets, Alt mounting bracket and engine mount (cant tell from the picture which side)

 

Also to fit the Alt you will need the adjuster assy and a bloody long bolt with a captured nut arrangement :)

 

I think i may have these parts including the alt if you need then.
