piping looks a little different.... bought all the bits today from tiger and i bought of them so that it would fit proper. i even have a diagram
although the piping are not the right shape even though i went to tiger so that it would be a perfect fit... i dont think even bending the piping
into shape is possible...!

From Toyne website
Diagram
Diagram on here shows wiring diagram. Do you have a long bendy pipe and a couple of shorter ones? They need fiddling. Somewhere on here is a thread
where I asked the question and a nice pic of how to cut each pipe wasposted by somebody

1 tube has a diameter of 4.5 cms and the other end is just over 3cms. This tube is quite short, about 30 cms in length. has a bend at both ends in
different directions. laying down one end will be facing up whilst the other end will face sideways...
the other tube is slightly longer, narrower that makes an L shape..
then the thrid piping is fairly long with an s shape. in other words both ends are the same although they point in opposite directions.. (so this
pipe whilst laying down has one end facing left and the other facing right)..

Piping
Here's the thread where someone told me the answer.
The pump- ali pipe tube I cut and fixed around a metal joiner to make both ends point in the right direction.
Top rail pipe I'll fit tomorrow. The cut section doesn't really bring the pipe across to the side of the car, so I plan to make a braket
to move the front of the long ali pipe closer to the middle. Will post pics later

just checking here before I go and cock up but on the pipe photo from the other thread (see below). Are the red lines over the tubes where I cut
them? thanks
