I read on here a couple of weeks ago that they are prone for rusting and damaging the inlet manifold so wanted to have a look. Where abouts are they located as I had a quick look today and couldnt see them!

Do you have to go from underneath the car or are they visible from the top???

The two brackets are under the FRP number part of the manifold and bolt to the engine block, tbh i ran with out for a year with no problems, but put them on when i took the aircon off. You can make them yourself from pipe most likly from B&Q, flatten the ends, bend to shape and drill a hole in each end. Not sure of the diameter of pipe without looking. They are a pig to get to aswell.
