Hi all,
I have bought a Forge Twintake off a mate, and when looking at the parts I noticed that on the pipework for the canisters there is signs of rubbing against something in the engine bay. The scoring was quite extensive, as the pipe work isn't that thick.
Anyway without fitting I couldn't tell what was rubbing. So when fitting, I looked at where it could be rubbing or whether it was just the way it was fitted previously.
I found that there is a OEM Squeeze clip (don't know the correct name), and the pipe work rubs against the lugs.
All I have done to stop this, is to turn the the clip 45 degree's anticlock wise. This give around 5mm clearance. I have also used metal stick to repair the damage.
I have arrowed the affected area, for those who have fitted it might be worth checking for the same issue.
Please note, this isn't a slight on Forge manufacturing.
Hope this helps.
