It would be a AN fitting,

Usally called AN weld in fitting or bung.

Something like this.

The 10 on the end is the size of braided hose.

So you can get AN-4, AN-6, AN-8, AN-10, AN-12.

The numbers are for different size braided hose.

Ah spot on.

I can measure my charger when it comes to work out what size I need. Unless anyone knows what size a Vortech V1 will use for feed and drain hoses.

Update time!!!!

Well I'm back from my trip to Romania and Germany!

Drank way too much beer (ever heard of a beer wheel?) had one in Romania. Bad idea. Didn't expect 11 pints!!

Germany was mega! Arrived in time for a massive festival of beer and Sausage in Furth!

So update on the car!

Good news is that air filter is on order from US.

post-81920-144684473766_thumb.jpg

$35 ordered it via a mate in USA and shipping via him to me.

Got the intake pipe back and have to say has been fabricated really well! Welds are amazing and will great under the bonnet!

It's good enough considering all I had was a drawing from a mate in the USA. Bolts align and that's all that matters really!

Also bought a catch can off Mike on here so that's another item off the list!

Next is to mock it all up so can measure what length belt I will need in advance of fitting.

Hoping to get it fitted in a couple of weeks all being well!

Looks quite at home in there.

Measured up what diameter silicone couplers I need as I wasn't happy with what I have with the kit due to being damaged and not blue :)

Got my MAF terminals today so I can repair the plug.

So. We have a bit of a problem

post-81920-14477968492_thumb.jpg

Don't see it yet?

post-81920-144779686476_thumb.jpg

It appears that at some point the bracket has become a little bent. Will obviously need to get this sorted before proceeding any further.

Had my hose couplers turn up today so another thing off the list.

Also need some 90degeee AN fittings as Mike foul on chassis leg.
