shn7 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Two brackets that came in a box of bits with my new Seven.I can't recall seeing them on previous Sevens. Can you identify them?Bracket 1Bracket 2TIA
Area Representative Nick Chan Posted April 30, 2016 Area Representative Posted April 30, 2016 Hi Steve,Bracket 1 looks like part of the headrest support if you have a caged X FIA bar or cage. Its missing the piece that has the headrest pad on it.Bracket2 - possibly an internal bracing bar for triangulating more on the passenger side? Not too sure
7 wonders of the world Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Pic 2 might be the plenum support bracket for VVC K variants
shn7 Posted May 1, 2016 Author Posted May 1, 2016 7 wonders...Spot on. Now you've given me that I do recall having seen one before and I'm sure that's it.Nick,I do have two types of headrest too so you may be correct on Bracket 1 but looking on the CC Parts pages can't find anything that matches. Any pics shoing one installed anyone?
John Vine Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 #2 could be a roller-barrel support, but it doesn't look very new. Is it there by mistake?JV
revilla Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 I don't think #2 can be a VVC manifold / plenum support strut, it's certainly not the standard part which is a much more substantial item but the giveaway is that on your bracket the two bolts are parallel but on the VVC strut the are at right angles. I can't do a link from my mobile but you can see what I mean in this picture: http://www.mgtf.be/images/MO_TU_EN_PTP/MO_TU_EN_PTPRTSport165_17.jpg
shn7 Posted May 1, 2016 Author Posted May 1, 2016 Having had my memory jogged I do think that #2 looks like a plenum support I had on a previous 1998 car. This one will be from my current 2003 car I believe from before it was upgraded to Jenvey TB's and would have had the metal VVC style plenum.
John Vine Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Ah, when you said "new", I thought you meant you'd just taken delivery of a new kit!JV
shn7 Posted May 1, 2016 Author Posted May 1, 2016 Haha, Sorry John, should have said "new to me". Apologies for being misleading ;-)
Grubbster Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Yes, the first is the headrest support bracket from my academy car (no use to you) and the other is a plenum support that was fitted between the engine and throttle bodies - can't recall why I didn't refit it?
