Royal 1150K in Vigo

Post by Brand »

Good evening,

I am considering getting a Royal 1150K to fit in the front of my vigo. The measurements are 335mm (L) x 175mm (w) x 240mm (H).

Now I know certain of the aircon pipes have to be bent a bit to make the bracket fit. Can anyone tell me if this will fit without too much hassle? :beg:

Any other considerations?

Thanks

I have been told (on good authority ... he's never lied on the Forum before...) that it should fit.
I have not managed it, and could only fit a 90AH under the bonnet.

Good luck, and please if you get it right, take pics :beg:

but then, much worse loosing your brakes than the warrantee .....
