How many people are needing these ???

Yeah mine are 8mm and with my dodgy welding skills I even managed to warp it. Someone with a bit of skill and a decent welder may get away with 5mm. My fabber insisted on 8mm to minimise the warp.

Speak to LEXUSPAT he has a proven track record and I think over 40 kits are now out there using his cradle design

Oh well I was going to say I'd have a look at making these but think you should just ask LEXUSPAT now

Tbf although my fabricator is looking at doing them he hasn't taken any measurements or even had a good look at mine.
So if someone wants to look at these by all means but there is a lad on fb making them with built in bypass flange mounted to it

Well, no-one get their hopes up on these yet...
But CAD drawings have been made up and are looking good.
For other people that are running this s/c setup, what diameter pipe are you running on the outlet?
Drawings have been made up with a 2.5" outlet hole, I have asked for a 3" so then a reducer can be used down to 2" in a silly attempt for better flow/felxibility.
What size would be people like to see on them?
Cheers.

Most use 2.5 as most pipes are well priced at this size and with a 3 pipe below space is gonna be even tighter and is hell to work with.
Most go from 2.5 down to 2 and then back to 2.5 for inlet

I was planning on using 2" for the majority.
...Just using a 3" to 2" for the outlet manifold, trying to port match a little better.
If the majority are running with 2.5" outlet then i'll have a word with my man on CAD

I found that if I wanted to use 2.5", I needed to angle the outlet and turn it slightly to the right. Otherwise it was never gonna fit. At first I followed Lindbloms design (found on page 11 on this thread, mine was 15mm longer), but the 90 coming off the outlet was touching the water pipes. Chopped a C section out, bent it over, now I have loads of room.

Might be a bit out of place
The navara pulley is proving tricky to find, so I'm looking at the merc E300 item instead.
No-one has mentioned whether they have had any success with it on here?
Cheers.
