LOOSEBF Member 106 Member For: 16y 5m 22d Gender: Male Posted 23/07/13 08:35 AM Share Posted 23/07/13 08:35 AM As nizpro had a big sale on plenums for ba/f this month I think a few people will be in the same boat as me. I couldn't justify spending 300 on the fitting kit when most of it was easy to come by cheap except for the thermostat housing (which they will not sell seperatly). After a lot of hunting around for another option I nearly bought a Aeroflow universal swivel type and just would of had to tap in a barb for the reservoir I came across older fords that appeared to have the same bolt spacing. Anyway after several different repco's and supercheap's I found that the housing off a ea/eb will fit and its at a right angle to a ba housing so it's well out of the way. The resevoir barb remains in the same place and the eb top hose also fits up nicely also.Hope this helps someoneJay, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good.I'm half way through smoothing and polishing eb housing to match my polished lower housing. Hopefully it will look nice once everything is back together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up changing the hose to a ef 5l bottom hose. The eb hose fit with a bit of trimming but was a bit to kinked for my liking. The ef hose needed some slight trimming also.
