no **** huh ! i thought that there was ! Hey Kev have you sorted yourself a catch -can ....???

Baker · Jun 16th, 2006, 05:48 AM

Nope - the airbags are in the roof side bits (where the grab handles are).

Have not sorted a catch can yet, have had no time at all.

The side curtain airbags are sitting just under the roof liner between the A and C pillars, however they also have attachment points in those pillars. When the curtin airbags deploy the A and B pillar covers do break away from the frame to allow for the airbag to fully deploy.

Having experienced this in my MINI, I sure as hell wouldn't be attaching anything to the A pillar cover, unless it was made of foam rubber.

I've seen a few side curtain air bags bags deployed and the pillar covers do pop out. If have no idea of the amount of force but they do indeed move.

i havent found anywhere for them to fit ! simply because my catch can is different from the two in the photos ! and because it isnt my car i thought i would leave that decision up to whoever puts them in ! i think there would be a couple of good places to put the catch can kev !! i put the rough size of them up so you know how small they are gonna be !!!

where is the pager thing ??? i couldnt see it - keep in mind i cant use computers very well !

St00ge · Jun 17th, 2006, 10:43 AM

Could you mount it like alta does?

Josh, could you copy this colour? And do you sell the hoses to go with it? Silicone?

COOPER S KID · Jun 18th, 2006, 06:03 AM

im not sure elie if you could put the catch can there but yes i do have blue silicon tubing to go with it !! there is a big chance im gona put my catch can in the top left corner of my air box and make 2 holes above the power steering bottle for the silicon tubing to go through !!!

St00ge · Jun 18th, 2006, 12:42 PM
