Dear All,
Demand for my revised crank sensor brackets seems to have dried up. After selling nearly 150 I guess that everyone who wants one has one now. I probably wont make another batch after my current stock is sold unless I get some confirmed orders first. So if anyone wants ones without having to wait for it to be made to order, then I suggest that you cantact me soon.

Had my X300 4.0 Sport for almost 6 months now and finally got around to installing Andy's bracket that I purchased several months ago (was waiting until I changed the timing chain tensioner).
I have just been for a spin and it has put a smile on my face. I don't think my XJS with its 3 speed auto would keep up now even though I run its timing further advanced than spec also

I purchased A bracket from Andy back in April, It was very simple to install, Taking the fan pack off for easy access, and cardboard behind the radiator, made it easier.
I absolutely noticed better throttle response, and around a 2mpg improvement. Thanks Andy! I'd like one for my other XJR now. should I e-mail you? Mike

dear Alfisti,
I'm afraid I have not received your email. Where did you send it? My emaiul address is andystodart@metronet.co.uk
Dear All,
I have had a lot of enquiries and have now pre-sold my normal batch size of 10 brackets. If anyone else wants one, then please let me know ASAP and I will increase the size of the next batch I make to meet the demand.

And it's a small fixing screw, you can likely loosen it while holding bracket in your hand, or with channel-lock pliers. Vise made it easier to take pics.

Rec'd the bracket today, and got it installed in about 15 minutes. I loosened the 8mm bolt that holds the sensor to the bracket, then removed the two 10mm bolts that attach the bracket. I then held the bracket and removed the 8mm bolt, and removed the sensor. Got your bracket, test fitted it over the guides, slid the sensor thru the hole, and put the 8mm bolt hand tight with some blue Loctite. Fit the bracket back over the guides, put some blue Loctite on the ends of the 10mm bolts, secured them, tightened down the 8mm bolt, and was done. Almost as simple as removing the stock airbox!
I'll have to wait to road test it, since it's been raining off and on. But from what's been posted, I'm hoping to at least "feel" a little better response, and slight increase in mpg. Should be well worth the investment, and definitely one of the simplest modifications I've ever done!
