iansoutham Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 They do not really fit the MFI models due to the lack of clearance. I had an OMP one for the C-reg XR3i MFI and it would not fit with the front of the heater casing fitted. I tried it on the EFi XR3i (H-reg) and, although it fitted behind the inlet manifold, it would not sit on the strut tops correctly without being about 2mm from the manifold itself. With the engine running, it would have hit. The reason it fitted on the later car is because Ford altered the chassis on the post 1989 cars and moved the turrets slightly, which, coincidentally gives room for the heater casing. It is a shame, but I have never seen one that, I personally, would say fits like it should be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
