Reducers Air intake ? Mk 2 Cooper S

Post by rolesyboy »

Hi All. I wondered if anybody could advise me how to replicate plastic items (in this case I am thinking of the reducers at either end of the air intake). I notice quite a few people on this forum seem to have a gift for doing this kind of thing (speedo binnacles, rev counter pods etc) but I don't really know where to start. Cheers. Mark

Someone on here was planning on doing them, I can't remember who though. Not sure if anything ever came of it though.

Of all the bits that are hard to find they are an absolute piece of pi55 to do, if someone could lend me a sample I could have a batch done within 2 or 3 weeks.

Hi Mark. I can lay hands on one. (although I think there are two types, ie one at each end) I borrowed it from a mate with a view to making some. I just can't see that they are that expensive to remake either. Let me know what next? Cheers. Mark

I would need confirmation from people who know their MK2's but weren't the 2 the same just fitted to differemnt ends of the pipe?

Getting some vac formed would be easy.
