TTR expansion header tank

PostPost by: SADLOTUS » Fri Aug 31, 2007 3:52 pm

I'm just lining things up in the engine bay and bolting my collection of accumulated spares into their rightful place.
When the TTR expansion header tank is fitted, is there room to take out the dipstick? Until everything's in and bolted up it looks like it's trapped. Any kind souls want to post a piccy showing otherwise.
I expect you lot with a dry sump don't have this problem.
Thanks.

... No problems SadLotus ,
Enough place because of the height . Only sometime difficultises to reach the location ...
I will maybe found this kind of problem later , I still have an alternator kit to put on the car ... But , considering it's a mini Nippondenso , I don't think so.

This photo doesn't show the dipstick, but there is a lot of room betwen the alternator and the tank. My alternator is a huge Ford unit, so it's close to a worst case. My engine has a shortened dipstick, but I have tried a full length dipstick in it, and it does fit, and is easier to reach than the short one. I use the short one since I'm concerned that the long one will rattle against all the parts in that area.
