SiMX5 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I had a second attempt at fitting the Glanza brace to my SR by removing the rubber grommets from the fuel filter to mover it closer to the bulk head this time I managed to get the brace over the threads but its still getting caught on the filter and won't go down any further due to the air box.Any other ideas to get this to fit or would it be worth getting a different brace?

SiMX5 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 Same problem it's pissing me off! Glad to hear that I'm not the only one then! Quote

SiMX5 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 on mine there's somthing in the way to the right hand side i tube shaped thing with a bolt on top? same as yours?That's the fuel filter I did try to move it closer to the bulk head by removing the two rubber grommets which did give the brace a little more clearance to be able to get it over the threads but it was still in the way along with the airbox, bloody thing!!!I think it would go on if I removed the airbox but I want to get the engine pretty much as is so may have to find an alternative.

rob_bower Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Pics? I had a gt one on my sr but I didn't have an air box! The filter needed forcing down a little and back! It took a bit of force! Quote

rob_bower Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Yea it does take quite a bit if force to get the fuel filter out the way! Quote
morgey Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 bolt the filter directly to the bulkhead, I've got loads of spare room for a brace now, by the way yes thats actually a massive mission to do Quote
metalmickey0 Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 Glad its not me aswell then. I have now had a second go once i got the shocks nuts off and found that thing was in the way. I took the bolts out and it just stayed put and couldnt get the rubber grommets off. So refitted it again til i next have a go to work it out. Didnt want to mess with it too much as wasnt sure what it was as the time but now know and didnt want to break the pipe it was supported by. Quote
Turbo Goose Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 I put a big dent in mine with a hammer to get it round the fuel filter, just catches the airbox.I'm not one for bodging its just that it cost me a tenner so not bothered Quote
