hi,

well was fiddling around with the car on saturday and decided to fit hks Bov valve that i ordered and has been sittin around waitin for me to do it.
was happily workin away when shock horror ,the screw that was originally in the y pipe, (where the new hks one should replace and attch the bov) head has come off and there is nothin to grip on the thread as it snapped halfway in. cant get to the bugger now without removin the y pipe.
is this a major job?
do i drill it out or is there another way?

any ideas fellas would be appreciated

Thanks
Nick

glen,

yes eveyrthing turned out ok in the end. just after my little calamity i fitted the apexi induction kit which i must say was a dog to fit! but as it sat so far down because of the bonnet it would have actually pushed the bov out of place so i just removed the holding plate from the bov and it all seems to fit very tightly and secure now.

stroke of luck i tell ya!

cheers
