Yea, I tried to tell him that earlier, - he wasn't goin for it then. That entire cable bracket moves back, - whether the cables are loose or tight, - they can be adjusted.

So , no problem with the cables right ? Yea, it easy to set them back. I guess the most difficult part is having the the right bolts on hand for the throttle body itself.

That would be the big tube in front of the throttle body. That was a question earlier because you mentioned it wouldn't fit without the TB Spacer. Remember ?

no, i was referring to the linkage next to the throttle cable. that tube was long enough, it justs sits at a sort of off angle now, not as bad as i expected though

I hope you aren't Military Intelligence...



anyway, back on topic, post a picture of the intake with the TB removed and I'll let you know if it's been trimmed or not

No I realize what you mean now. There was a bit of misunderstanding on my part in this whole thread. Between post deletion and different terms I feel like a dumbass.
