Fist time DIY anything, so not sure if this method would be sufficient or if i'd better off redesigning the way the actuator is mounted!




I have welded it the the other supporting tab:



Thanks for any input!

 

I'd be more concerned about heat conduction from the manifold directly into the housing of the actuator. There's a reason you typically see internal WG actuators mounted to the compressor housing.

 

Thanks Joe, thats an interesting point, I'll have a look how to make a more conventional mounting bracket. The mounting holes on the compressor are staggered somewhat (i.e. not on the same plane) so a tad more challenging.
