Vac ball goes behind the bar down the bottom passenger side. Weird spot to relocate it.

vs ss ute
Cheers bud yeah I have a sparky mate who is going to tidy up the wiring and redo a decent set of thermos for me. That ball thing where is it ment to be located? Also if u notice the canister next to the fuse box is that where it should be just secured or is it in the wrong location?

Cheers jc

Yea thats the charcoal canister and its definitely not meant to be located there, it should be beside battery next to radiator as bracket is attached to rad support. Usually when thermos are added you just bend bracket a bit to allow charcoal canister to fit as well. Chances are whoever put thermo fans on have broken bracket for canister of rad support.

The ball is the vacuum ball.... Charcoal canister looks completely different. In fact looks like it's been ripped out all together.

Charcoal Canister is there, to the right the fuse box...somewhat out of place and loose I would suggest.

Yeah was a misunderstanding. The ball is the vacuum ball meant to be behind the bar. Also the charcoal canister which as you said is near the fuses, is meant to be near the radiator.. Got to love dodgy stuff.
