It looks like a fuel tank with a passenger footrest adjoined 😂

 

I'm guessing not though? 

It's a chargecooler tank with a footrest plate, sized to go into the passenger footwell 😊

Gotta say it looks flipping brilliant! Very clever idea whoever came up with that one! 👌

I did, probably the best location to have it installed in my car, away from the heat soak of the engine bay.

Entirely designed in CAD by myself, then built by ProAlloy to the exact spec.

Have to say, that's very impressive. I admire people who can do stuff like this (I can't!)

Some stickers to keep the MOT man right when the times comes.

I love these things but they’re not for me, it says “intelligent driving features” right on the box, I’m immediately excluded.

Your not that daft you should get one you even get a free wheel with it.

Jokes aside brilliant piece of kit I've seen it in operation well worth investing in

Got some universal gaiters for my steering rack. Hopefully they will fit ok. 

 

Has anyone fitted new ones in the past without undoing the track rod ends? Apparently they can be slipped over with washing up liquid or silicone grease?

 

Never tried it but a mechanic mate of mine says he's done it loads of times. I don't want to mess up the tracking etc.

Just count the turns when you unscrew the track rod end

Or mark the thread

Can't imagine getting a gaiter over a TRE, never heard of that before.
