That's about that. | Just trying to clarify. You used the M42 compressor + lines? What did you use for a mount to the engine, and what did you do in terms of pulleys and belts? I'd guess the easiest way to do it is just bite the bullet and get the 6cyl stuff, but it'd be nice to reuse the 4cyl stuff. __________________
