well we have just got an omp one today and it wont fit it hits the top nut on the fuel filter anyone else with a jtd had these problems and if someone has fitted one on a jtd any chance of some pics

 

[Slc]

Hmm right...well when i get mine i'll let you know. There is a guide on how to fit one https://www.fiatforum.com/showthread.php?t=47410, but thats on an abarth

 

[little becky]

yea the only way i can think of doing it is to lower the fuel filter abit with some steel plate but does anyone know if this has any other implications

 

[Slc]

oh bugger yeah just had a look under the bonnet! ...im sure there is a way...

 

[little becky]

yea gonna have a look when i get back to work into getting a plate made to drop the fuel filter about an inch or so if it works i will make 2

 

[Stu DemonD]

If anyone fits this on a JTD, take some pics for the guides

 

[Slc]

Nice one becky!

 

[little becky]

well eventually got down to fitting it waited untill the lowering springs arived

i have just put a steel plate on with 2 bolts welded on the bottom to lower the filter
