Hi, I've got one of these mantzel style inlets made by vx paul on mig web. My problem is that because of the position of the brake servo hose i can't mount my header tank on it's original brackets. I think i've read somewhere that the bailey header tank is smaller. Is this true? Or is there another solution. What do peolpe do when they fit throttle bodies as this is my planned future.

i ahd the same problem, he really didnt think about this when he was making them.
i ended up getting the brake serov hose and the other 2 on the side welded up and re-tig welded on the front, worked fine.

It's not a Corsa C SRi one, it's a Z16XE one, and it goes on, as the engine is a Z16XE...
