EVOMS engine cover help needed, please....

As stokeballoon aka Quality Dave and others who know me will confirm, I'm useless when it comes to DIY or fiddling with car bits.

GTIjames very kindly gave me an EVOMS engine cover which is missing the fixing bolt(?) from the original kit and which also a previous owner has 'modified'. Providing I can learn which adhesive to use, I can repair the 'modification' by sticking on a washer to restore the hole in the ali sheet EVOMS cover in readiness for the bolt.

So, I'm using a stainless steel screw (threaded bolt) plus nut and washers. For those familiar with the EVOMS cover, it's the fixing point near the battery and it would help to know what the missing 'bolt' looks like.

The engine has a substantial bracket which the EVOMS uses, as does the ITG intake (for those who have one).

So, which heat resistant adhesive is recommended for stainless steel to aluminium? Or is welding practical?

What's the trick or tips for securing the EVOMS at the battery position? (The other side is easy)

Many Thanks for any help or suggestions  :drinking:

Thanks, Gill  :happy2:

I'll have to take some pics tomorrow. I could have come to your Sunday meet but I'm playing a gig.

Btw, for those who already have the EVOMS cover and the pain-in-the-butt re the MAF cable plus other adjacent hose, it's easy to modify and my pic will show how.

Hi Robin

i have the Evmos engine cover fitted when i had the ITG fitted, i used JB cold weld i got of ebay to stick the silver strip to the cover and its been fine, no movement even when the engine is hot after a hard drive.

i think the way the side bolt was fitted the bolt was fitted was the other way round so thebolt head was facing the engine and then tightend

here is a pic of mine
