stainless steel rear box

Strangelandeddie · 13-09-11, 07:16 PM

I've been offered a stainless steel rear box off a 2.8 v6 cabriolet and was wondering if ill be able to get it to fit on my 2.0 coupe.
I've looked at the image of the to systems in the bosal catalogue and the boxes do look of a simular design.
so any ideas or info greatfully excepted.

IF you get box to fit it wont stay stainless for long i'm afraid !!!! Unless the rest of your system is stainless too.
The mild steel system will contaminate the stainless box and make it rust .... believe it or not !!!

SPECKS

Not sure Dave, the bore of the 16V is wider than the 8V, that I do know, but not sure about the V6 but would think it would be - yours is 8 valve if I remember correctly.

Check out the part numbers on Etka for both models that may help
