need4speed Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Could someone with a carb'd v8 please tell me where bracket no7 in pic below I s supposed to bolt to? I've had a quick look and all I can assume is that it goes into 1 of the top bellhousing bolt holes. However the problem with that is that the air box support brackets (no7 in pic below) also have no choice but to go there... The only difference between mine and the original v8 vehicles is that I'm using an R380. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 IIRC it goes into one of the holes on the back of the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Item 7 in the first pic fixes to the vertical section of item 7 in the second pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Mickey do you have a pic of that? I don't think that would work on mine as the "vertical" section you mention is actually at quite an angle on mine. This would then mean the water hose bracket would be at a strange angle.. I will try and take a pic later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Phil, you are now making me doubt myself. The picture in my mind is now not so clear. I'm wondering if there is a good picture in my paper green bible - I'll try to remember to look later. The rearward sloping part of the canister support brackets have fuel lines clipped against them. I am pretty sure the heater hoses and pipes run under the canister, so the brackets are stepping over the hoses. I now can't picture how that bracket fits in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Lol mickey... I forgot, there's no point me taking a pic until I've got the heater back on. I removed it in order to weld the arm on the top as the spring clip holding it on was broken. Obviously the heater determines the position of the water hoses so I will take a pic when it's refitted.

need4speed Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Thanks Jeff. I can make out the air box mounting brackets but can't quite see the water hose bracket. Sorry maybe it's my eyes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need4speed Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Cheers Jeff. Thanks for the pics. I used to have a real awkward landlord as well. It appears that you don't have the same bracket as me for the water hoses. That's why I was getting confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffR Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I wonder if it's because of the gas conversion that has been fitted? There are lots of oddities about my V8, I'm very slowly working through them, returning "modified bits" to as near as standard as I can get. But man, is it a long painful job.....
