Cheers mate, im just scanning ebay at the minute for a few more hoeses, its amazing how many hoses there is on the engine just hoping i can sort some braided hoses out for stuff like fuel lines and power stearing pipes.

Is there any wiring diagrams for the 20vt?

[donny lad]

Severel water pipes, oil feed pipes, some more vacum pipes, Brake lines lol loads lol

im buying some every week to try and break down the costs.

I really want a S/S manifold but there is none for sale at the minute.
