Could you give us your thoughts on it in a couple of weeks, after you have used it for awhile ?

£5, BHF

Noticeably warmer than my old Ebespacher D2.
Just need to decide where I'm going to permanently mount it.

That was the one I was going to buy but the kit one made more sense for my install in the end.

Is your exhaust tube decent?

That's identical to mine, I've been happy with it. The exhaust gets VERY hot so route it carefully :whistle:

A water jet cut aluminium plate for a job.

Eccentric bore. Hopefully it's in roughly the right place. :scared:

Curious, why not water jet the bore too? Or mostly, then ream?
Or, do the bore then water jet the outer shape.

Not my area of expertise, that isn't criticism, just wondered why it was done that way.

Touche . Installed this morning . Needless to say I went for the one with the knob on the front. Altered the fuel piping to stop it transferring the pump noise to the case . much quieter.

I had them put a 20mm bore in for me to pick up. A water jet hole is no where near round enough or tight enough in tolerance to put a reamer through.

To be honest the location of this bore doesn't really matter. As long as the bore dimensions are correct and both sides are flat, I can then put the lid on the pump with the shaft assembled, then clamp the lot together and dowel the lid.
Once doweled, I can take the lid on and off as many times as I like to get the 6 hole bolt pattern right

No it uses a nice flexy rubber clamp but the zip clip thing keeping the fuel pipes tidy was touching the outer case which acted like a sounding board. I also rotated the pump in its clamp to allow the tank to move forward and seat better .Only 5mm or so . As per usual the instructions are designed to stop you rushing. Not totally unfathomable just need reading carefully. Got mine from VEVOR , 3 day delivery but no confirmation 'E' mails , £ 90.00 Pleased so far.

Ah, I see. Makes sense now. Never had anything water jet cut so didn't know how round it would be.

It was within about 0.015" TIR.

Not bad for a 20mm hole in 20mm plate.

I seen your post earlier.
My exhaust is fine, but it's not exactly the easiest of stuff to shape. It'll probably outlast what Eberspacher supply, but I'm considering options to extend the exhaust before it exits the workshop to get that bit extra heat from it.

Hmmmm, because they lost them due to the speed of the transaction or because unguarded planers are vicious bas***ds?

Nice one and a decent neighbour. When my neighbour moved all I got offered was half a bag of ballast!

Can these be refurbished or is it not worth it and they should go in the skip?
