Rather than accessing from underneath you can remove the air filter box to access it from above. I've done it both ways and this way is quick to do and provides much better access. Hope this helps!

Looking at doing this on the weekend, if I'm just gonna get rid of the filter do I need to get new washers? Or just put it back together with the old ones?

Should get new ones. They are pretty cheap from Ford. It's a job you will only want to do once so do it properly

^this...however in a pinch they can be reused and reannealed to soften them up.

In the past when I have not had spares i've resurfaced them on a flat smooth piece of concrete then used the gas hob to anneal (soften) the copper again.

But for all that effort and the risk of a leak...get new ones!

Been looking around for a thread that was started a little while back re the earls filter. Someone used some aeroflow fittings & P clamps to mount the filter to the front of the block instead of the side. It had a list of the bits he used. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I think from memory it's as simple as swapping the lines over.

So the one that goes from block to filter, now goes from turbo to filter and vise versa.

I found these clamps on EBay for cheap.

I have purchased in -6 for a project, but do come in other sizes.

Will give feed back when I receive them.

Ebay item number 191545385932
