   cheers yeh i took it off and rubbed it down. as it was bubbled and quite rust infested then spray primed coloured n laquered.
   
   didnt use heat resistant paint as i heard it wasnt needed? but if i do get any problems i can get some and redo it i suppose! hopefully not though!

    looks so much beter that mate,not sure bout that induction kit where it is tho,you chould look at getting an angled bit of silicone hosin to bring it forward and attach the cold air feed else its drwing in to much hot air and pointless.

    yeh it gets hot but not quite hot enough to melt it! maybe a few hours hossing along country roads or a long motorway journey could affect it. but just checked it now when i got back from work and its sweet as a large blue nut!

    yeh i was actually thinking the same recently! i may get a 90 degree bend and sit it more towards the front of the bay.

    Piece of pee pee to take off, bit of a bar-stward to get back on as the washers underneath kept falling off as the way the seal is around the cover, it only just slots back in with a bit of force! easy enough though!
