I believe the only way to get anything into the HowTo section is for a mod to do it. Maybe they will - ?

Yes I see that now. Pity really because making a spot-on duplicate is quite satisfying. You'll just have to work in the space you have, bend a bit test a bit - it doesn't have to look very pretty to pass the MOT. As long as there's no chance of it fouling anything that moves.


Making a template from stout wire sounds like a good plan.

Is the 10x1mm fitting on the modulator end the same as the fitting on the hose union end - or are they different lengths?
They're the same - 10x1mm, DIN, short length. The connectors sold on eBay, etc. are generally the 'short' type unless specifically described as 'long'.
