Octopus question

Post by scagnetti »

This is probably a dumb question, but ...

Does the BX have one or two 'spiders/octupus'' above the front subframe? If it's one (as I think), is there another similar part in the same area?

Confirmation of what hydraulic parts are concealed by the subframe would be much appreciated.

TIA

Two.

One is the big octopus, which has 9 legs.

The other is the small octopus, which has either 3 or 4 legs, dependant on how you look at it.

The Small octopus deals with the front and rear height corrector low pressure returns, and joins these to the return from the Accumulator/Regulator unit. You can see the "body" of it attached to the LHM tank.

The Large octopus deals with all the low-flow returns, essentially "everything else"
this might be a signature
