Here is the modified bracket, it now has 4 gussets to make it strong:
Check out these welds, I owe a HUUUUUGGGEEEE thanks to TitaniumTT, although he mostly lives on the "other" forum. I need to duplicate this over there.
I cleaned and cleaned, and baked and baked, but I think because this piece sits under the power steering pump, and I've had leaks before, the cast aluminum just soaks up so much oil and grime, making it a little tougher to weld, but it came out really nice regardless.
And I got a big package, with 6 little packages inside
Piping!!!!! - 2.75" diameter, 2x18" straight pieces, 2x45 degree bends, 2x90 degree bends:
I've also modified my throttle body throttle linkage to give me a little more room. I took off the cruise control linkage, and moved the normal throttle linkage into its spot. The little bushing that holds everything in place came apart really nicely (it's just pressed together). Then I swapped the outer throttle cable holder to the inside where the cruise control cable linkage was. Now I just need to cut off about an inch from the small bar that the spring butts up against, this will give me room to slide the supercharger back just a hair.
Throttle Body (you'll notice it's there is only one piece to hold a thottle cable, which now sits where the cruise control cable hookup used to be):
Close up & removed cruise control cable hookup:
Piece I need to cut about 1" off of, which will give me just enough room for the inlet to the supercharger. This is what the spring that springs back the thottle valves loads against.
sorry for the poor Iphone pics
