same set up as what you have got found the right inlet and bottom pully now .the bracket just dont seem to fit i know i need to cut some bits but not sure what to do and how it bolts to the engine

You need to cut quite a lot out of the cylinder head , ie narrow the exhaust cam cap nd bottom race to about 5 mm round ,

a good few mm`s of the side of the head and a wee nip out off the oil galery dowel bolt to fit ,

Mine is still not right so...

Bite the bullet (like i done) and get the purpose made bracket from Kev Abbott on here ,

(£85 Inc Postage)--(check the parts for sale section) Really well made!!!

It`s worth doing in the long run as mine was fouling the belt slightly after all that work!

so £85 is far cheaper that belt fail - bent vavles , guides ect ,

If your still keen on going down the route of the normal 1.8 bracket i`ll get u sum pictures ,

(I have a spare head thats been cut to fit , ( a lot easyer when the head is off)
