yea, havent received the 2nd one yet, but its on its way :) will fit them both at the same time when it arrives and stops pissing down with rain.. as much as that garage door covers when its up, i'm not going for the wet arse crack.

yea will do. i've managed to get 2x used DV26 twin piston bovs, 2x silicone reducers, 2x blanking plugs, 2x 35mm ID (100mm long) alloy connector pipes, and 10x new jubilees all for £80. got all hoses/pipes from ASH silicone/AP motor store on ebay. I already have some 4mm+5mm ID vacuum hose but that was only about £2.50 a metre.

 

just the fitting kit from bailey is £80 on ebay... so i'm thinking thats worked out ok, providing everything works. i've got an apexi intake down there which i'm guessing frees up some space. and I had to remove the a/c rad fan to get to the bolts on the back of the original recirc valves. with an extension bar and the fan leant forward, was able to get my ratchet and a 12mm socket on them, just.

fitted today, all working properly and sounding mint. bit annoying being an auto that it doesnt blow on gear changes as your foot is still buried in the throttle =/ but i'm a happy bunny!

 

2x Bailey DV26's

2x 100mm long 35mm OD alloy pipe

2x Silicone reducers 35mm > 25mm

3mm ID vac line + 2x 5mm3mm vac line reducers/connectors

5mm ID vac line (if replacing stock vac hoses)

 

only thing i would suggest with these valves is I had to go down to 3mm ID vac line, then fit a vac line reducer (3mm>5mm) to couple onto the stock vac pipes that are already there, as they are a ******* to get off as you cant get to the passenger side spring clip too easily. and typically... i only had one of these reducers around so ended up modifying a T-piece I had for an old guage and blocking the T.

 

still delighted that lot inc the bovs only came to around £80. RESULT.
