Parts have arrived back from the US...

Well... during the week, I have received the package from the US, which contained the new Harness, the Coolant kit for 20v BT, the Vacuum Kit for 20v BT, and the new fuel line... So... I'll show pics of the kits below...

MR220v Harness...
This is the picture of the 16v Harness, with the 20v Plugs fitted, as per MR220v's magic. It certainly looks nice, and job well done... none-the-less, the real test comes when it's installed. But I have my faith in MR220v's work... after all, he's done more than 60 harnesses, and he tests all of them prior to dispatching... :-)


When I initially unpacked the harness, and inspected it, I saw the Alternator connector (Similar to the picture below), and thought... "What the..."... but after thinking for a while, I realised that this was brilliant idea... basically it allows me to use my 16v Alternator (Which has a round plug) or I could use the 20v Alternator (Which has an oval plug). Doug has done the same for the Starter... Pics of the alternator plug below....


Coolant Kit for 20v into AW11...
This kit basically includes 4x Silicon hoses, a metal pipe, a Filler cap, a Filler Cap bracket to mount the original MR2 filler assembly along with it's nuts & bolts, an optional coolant Juego, and some recirculating piples for the Juego. All is shown in picture below....


The Vacuum Line Kit...
This kit is supposed to replace most / all vacuum lines in the 20v BT engine. I would strongly recommend this, as hunting down a vacuum leak in the 20v BT is not easy task... replace these 10-15 year old lines before fitting the engine. The kit basically arrives in a small box, with about 19x small plactic bags, all of which are nicely labeled according to their placement. (You can download the pics and possibly zoom in, so you can vaguely make out the text.)


The New Fuel Line...
Obviously, if you are reading this thread, you will know a few things about it. One of the biggest problems is that the 16v fuel line is waaaay to long, and the 20v Fuel line is about a tiny-weeny too short... the best option is to get a custom fuel line... hence the Side to Side fuel line was purchased as part of the package... Pics below...


Well... these are the parts that have just arrived from the US... They look good, and the ultimate test will be when they are on the car, so stay tuned to hear about this... :-)
