Hi Glenn
I'm not sure how similar the 1.6 and 1.8 blocks are as far as the various
bolt holes are concerned but my 1.8 has a series of holes on the exhaust
side near the front that would have been for the aircon compressor. Maybe
you could fabricate something that supports it from there. The risk there
is that you would be radiating heat into the block.
One option, if they are available, is to mount some form of ceramic
insulator in the brace to cut down the heat transfer. It would need to be
pretty robust though to withstand the vibrations.
Cheers

Hi guys,
I am renewing my cars insurance value and are not sure how much it
is worth. Could someone tell me the market rate for a NZ new 1990 MX5
with hard top with 120,000Km on the clock. It has had a few small
modifications such as a new stereo and central locking fitted but i
doubt that these will make much difference.
My second question is regarding the alarm fitted to it, does anyone
know of an alarm branded Itaco from Autex Automotive, it was fitted to
the car when i got it and don't know of the specs of it or how much
protection it is actually providing.
Looking forward to an answer,
Mike
