Yeah I agree, I've heard of people using the E-series bell with the barra and just leave the bottom bolts out-which is not a good idea IMO, Another thing you could try is putting a wanted to buy add in Gumtree - I've got a few things that way and you can set a limit on the price aswell, just a thought-ya never know.

You should be able to use the AU Auto sandwich plate. If that is correct I should have one around here somewhere that you can have. |

For your washer bottle try this
  Not the greatest shot but you can see it installed just. Keep up the good work. Steve |

Also for water temp sensor I just welded a bung in base of thermostat housing and screwed sender unit in. Dont have any photos though.

I was considering getting the thermostat housing drilled and tapped... Would eliminate the dodgy hosing that's for sure!

Its best to weld a plate on then drill and tap as housing is fairly thin. I was worried about to many rubber hoses as well.

Or use the EB/ED ones, they have an extra port don't they? Use the BA Washer bottle and locate it where the ABS would be on later models (same place as the BA) |

I Was referring to the lower part of the thermostat housing. The side walls should be thick enough? I may have to measure that up.
Purely out of interest, i've drilled into the side of a spare ED Upper thermostat housing I have laying about.   If I can achieve the same thickness with the BA thermostat, I'd say that's thick enough to tap?
