Top Hose under driver's seat

Post by snakes46 » Thu Mar 04, 2010 5:02 pm

Can the lower end of the top hose be accessed from above or do I have to slide under and remove the undershield??

I am pretty sure I done mine from above. Be carefull though there are some sharp bits to catch yourself on. Besides, removing the bellypan ain't too hard.

I think you'll get away with removing just the front bit of the pan, if you need to from below. Depends on your flexibility :wink:
