Project Exclusive

So I think that it is in 3 sections, Manifold and Cat 1, centre section and Cat 2? and rear box. It is the centre section I need. I'll keep an eye out for the heat shield but not averse to buying a new one to keep things moving, I may find a fix when I'm in there working however, it's just quite loose.

Ok ok, I know that Audi are called Stealers rather than dealers........

So I'm looking for the clips that attach wiring onto the chassis etc and I've got the part number as 8D0971847C, these things are tiny! and I maybe need about 10 or 20 of them to put everything back.

Soooooooo. Guess how much?
 
£8.53 EACH!!!!!!!

It's like 3cm long!!!!

Never mind taking the aluminium off to get money for scrap, just find a way of getting these bad boys out without breaking them and you've got hundreds of pounds in your pocket straight away!!!!!

:eek:
 
Apparently these are made by a company called HellermanTyton who very kindly will sell me 20,000 of them.


They are also available on Alibaba - at a slightly lower cost but with huge delivery cost!

See page 146 of the HellermanTyton product guide for the parts I think these may be - https://www.hellermanntyton.co.uk/b...otive_products_cable_ties_and_fixings_com.pdf

Thanks Murdo, there is a long way to go between all my other commitments, but I will get there. Thank you very much for the support, it's quite daunting coming back to it every week and trying to remember what is next, so I've taken to writing it on the windscreen :cool:

Remember all it will be up for sale once I've got it MOT'd, not an offer to buy just yet but keep it in mind.
 
So it is with a heavy heart that I will be stepping away from the A2 scene for a while. So I'm going to try and pull the details of the cars I have at present together and they will be up for sale shortly. This is not an offer to sell but just a statement of intent. Sorry guys needs must.
