Help needed: BMS N55 intake Bracket

Collanrf · 01-13-2015, 07:12 PM

Does anybody have a bracket for the N55 BMS intake to secure the housing. It comes with a screw. I lost mine. I havent used it for months. I had a replacement one but i was told to throw the old one since its jacked up but i guess the bracket went with it in the trash. If you have one i'll buy it from you? See pic.

You may want to check with BMS and see if they can throw you one. Maybe they'll just charge you for the shipping.

Collanrf · 01-13-2015, 07:42 PM

I already emailed them. I'll find out. Hopefully they give me one. I'm in Cali. Hopefully they ship it to me.

Take the intake tube to home depot, figure out what the thread is and buy a stainless allen head bolt that fits.

Collanrf · 01-13-2015, 08:05 PM

Yes i need screws but also the bracket. That pic is from Burgertuning. Its just a sample pic

I personally don't use the bracket cuz the silicone tube keeps falling off when i use it.

What do you use to secure it? So its just hooked up in the silicone tube?

Dude don't pay a penny for this from someone else- just email Jason at BMS and he'll send you one in the mail...no worries!!

I'm missing that piece too and emailed terry and he said there's nothing he can do for replacing that piece. So the intake just hangs out in the air box till I can think of something to fab up as a bracket

Wow! that sucks. I just emailed Jon last night and Jason just a couple of minutes ago. Still no response.

That is surprising...Jason is usually quick on the draw. Keep us posted.

Is it bad, or are there any repercussions of letting the intake "hang" there? When I installed my CP I just kept the entire stock air box out so the Intake is just connected to the silicon hose.

I haven't had any issues just letting it hang in the air box. It fits in there pretty nice, but believe at first I was paranoid it would come out of the air box or something lol. Now I don't know about having the whole intake box out since the bottom edge of the filter rests at the bottom of the air box. Id maybe throw it back in for reassurance. Once I get my car out of storage I'm going to get some modeling clay and mock up a bracket and then see if I can get it 3D printed

Bladerunner · 01-15-2015, 08:23 AM

You have nothing to worry about, My bracket and screw came loose and fell into the air box cover, the filter was leaning lying on top of it, it was probably like that for about a month before i noticed. No negative side effects or rattling. You could always use a plastic tie if you're worried as a temporary fix!

Got in touch with Ando from Burgertuning and they have brackets, but it needs to be purchased. I got one instead of doubting. They already shipped, i hook it up mwhen i get back.

Collanrf · 01-24-2015, 01:52 PM

Got the bracket from Burger Motorsports. Problem solved. Here's the pic

Dark_Knight_335 · 01-24-2015, 08:54 PM

I'm disappointed they charged you, but glad you got it man! Be careful with that screw

cburn · 01-25-2015, 02:55 PM

Why wouldn't they charge you? It's machined aluminum and costs money to make.

hailpersia · 01-25-2015, 03:03 PM

You couldn't go and buy a bolt from home depot?
