Compact Module For Plan 'B' - Stealth Water Methanol Injection - [SH2OMI] - Update 25.02.2018
Hello Steem Meisters,
After the slight disappointment of the other day, I've gone for the first option that I mentioned and made the pump/solenoid bracket smaller and more compact. Hopefully this will allow the unit to fit in the scuttle 'well' directly in front of the cabin ventilation fan unit.
Note the pen marks for the re-designed bracket.
The solenoid valve is almost an inch closer to the water pump now and the excessive half-round bracket 'stub' for the old solenoid position has been removed giving approx. 40mm extra clearance on the bottom.
The relay is fixed to one of the pump bolts and the boost switch is in it's original position.
I've started to finalise some of the components now, i.e. fitted the 6mm push-fit connector for the solenoid valve output ('O' ring sealed) and used plumber's tape' on the valve's input screw thread to prevent leaks and clamped the rubber hose to the barb connector.
The UK is going to be suffering a week of very cold temps starting tomorrow and so I apologise in advance for a brief hiatus in the project.
I'll see you guys on the flip-side of the wintry weather ;)
Bye for now,
EggMeister.

I bet you can't wait till everything is done.
It's such a relatively simple principle but the fine detail needs constant tweaking, it seems to be taking forever LOL.
Yup, I can't wait ;)
