WTB: Coil on Plug Bracket for 1.8
 

I don't have the tools available anymore to build a bracket for my COPs so I'd like to buy one from someone else.

Have a 1.8 with Protege valve cover and the Toyota Corolla COPs with offset mounting tab. Lemme know what you've got!

-Scott

shit. i just built one for that. eh. let me think about it

You know you wanna.... :D

i will be building one in the next week or two, let me know what your timeframe is...i also have a 1.8 and im using 2000 corolla COPs, you may need to send me one COP if ours are not the same
you just pay materials and shipping, hows that sound

you could build one with scissors and sheet metal. it couldn't be easier.

hey dan, the protege cover is a lil different so what might fit our stock 94 cover won't fit the protege cover.

true, i figured they should at least have the plug holes spaced the same and width shoud be very close
i figure this much since they are interchangable and people do put them on miatas often
i think a picture of a protege cover would help me understand the difference better, same goes for an escort cover i guess

obviously the plug holes and 3 bolts that hold the valve cover will be identical. use 1.5" wide aluminum 1/8" thick. if you make it to go end to end on the 94 valve cover he'll just have to cut the front short as the Protege valve cover raises up sooner.

I made the mistake of having my girlfriend measuer the coils at home when i was at Home Depot so I ended up buying a holesaw that was a lil bigger than perfect(1.25") I'd go with 1" or 1.125".

i used a 1". looks good paul. I dont dare to take a pic of mine :)

Sounds good, I'm using the same COPs as you with the offset tab. As long as it fits and looks presentable.. I'm all for it. :D

I'm going to powder coat it, so don't worry about the finish like paint or anything. Got that end covered!

Not in a *huge* hurry, just as soon as possible. The coils are still keeping me from tuning and driving my car, but I'm still not done with the harness yet. Have all the pigtails built, just need to figure out a good way to secure 5 14 gauge wires together and such.

I made mine with a hacksaw and a drill...

nice, i thunk it's close enough, we'll see how it all goes
ill post pics, lol

:d

Also, for a bracket like that, use 3 longer than stock bolts for the valve cover (by whatever the thickness of your plate is). Otherwise the stock bolts might grab few threads but those threads will get stripped over time.

Any update whaaa? :)

god you dont sleep do you, lol
no updates yet, i will be going to get some Al today from 'ze home de-pot' and start the mock up process cause my COPs came in saturday...ill probably finish this weekend and ill be able to mail it all out monday for you...

Haha.. Yeah I sleep, just very very little. I hate my job and don't really care how much sleep I get, so I normally operate on around 4.5 hours of sleep. Just quit that job today so I've got a short vacation now :) and will be on to better things!

Bitchin on finishing it this weekend, that rocks! Now I Just need to get my ass in gear to finish the harness.

my damn coils are not here yet, i sent my gf to pick up the package from the office and it was her bathrobe she ordered like two days before it arrived and my coils are still not here, im pissed

motherfuck, they just sent the effin coils out yesterday, they were supposed to be here already, fucking fuck sticks
