When the pipes are clamped in the engine bay one of them moves/twists .It all sits correctly until I fix this last bracket and because it was all in I didn't see what happened until I tried to select reverse .....It will not go in easily .
The pipe had moved and fouls gear selector rod/gator .I have to modify a mount bracket on the pipe to stop it moving .This bracket is too long compared to OE and allows movement which fouls on the rod .
I have spoken to Andreas at Simon .All the cars these have been installed in are LHD ....this movement is not an issue as the rod enters at a different angle and does not foul so he was unaware of problem .At least that's what I think is happening .

That looks very much like you've solved it.

Nice one, Lee. 8)

Yeh, think so but I'm flagging ..... In out in out :( :( I'll look at what I can do to secure the pipe where it runs past the rod .Belt and braces if poss .
At least they all come back out easily :lol: :lol:
