Mitchell Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 at first glance i would suggest getting a cable holding bracket from a mk 2 or any other digifant gti, or k jet vw these are a seperate bracket and could be extended with extra metal to allow it to be bolted on from the fuel rail, kinda hard to explain without pointing it out but i hope you get the idea.
