millsn Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 There's a brazed on bracket under the induction on most chassis. It almost fits a washer bottle and owuld make a good point for a cattch tank on a zetec. Does anyone know what this is originally for? It's on the engine bay diagonal adjacent to the sideskins Edited by - millsn on 4 May 2008 15:19:44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frying Pan Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Possibly for the charcoal canister that was fitted to some export cars? -----See some pictures of the build here. 13000 miles completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnty Lyons Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 On my 97 chassis it holds the washer bottle. jj N.I. L7C AR 🙆🏻 Membership No.3927. 240BHP 1900cc K Series 40th Anniversary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millsn Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 I've tried to oget my washer bottle to fit but it's too small. there must be a few available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millsn Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 looking at catch tanks there appear to be a few varieties, some larger than others. i wonder if they were ever fitted here. My XF catch tank appears to use a smaller bracket than the later washer bottles do. Has anyone ever fitted a catch tank here - is there a tank that suits perhaps?

Bricol Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Seconded for the charcoal canister - fitted on K-series UK cars too I think. Bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie. Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Not wanting to hijack, but while we're at it, what's the purpose of the flat roughly 1" square bracket thing, under the rear nearside wheel arch? Sits to the rear of the De-Dion tube pointing outwards. On my 1994 car anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative paul richards Posted May 4, 2008 Area Representative Share Posted May 4, 2008 Opposite Lock I've often wondered about that and recently discovered that it's a bracket used to support a rear exit exhaust. Not now fitted to later cars. Paul Richards Area Representative - L.A.D.S.

Alba 7 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Opposite Lock, Thanks, I was about to post the very same question I assume it is safe to chop it off as it is too close for comfort to the inside of my new rims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millsn Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 makes a good jacking point just forward of that bracket in emergency (no dedion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
