Default Intake Tube Support Bracket (( 07-09-23 ))

Since the intake tube is just literally just hanging off the throttle body I need to finish the support bracket.



I have desire to remove the fan shroud to make holes so Self-Taping screws to the rescue.



I can't seem to find my 1/4" adapter for my drill so I am going to improvise.



Since the cardboard bracket won't be strong enough I am going to run over to High Speed Welding after work
tomorrow and have him make me an aluminum version.



yep, the screw is just short enough.



Well, I didn't notice it was crocket till I pulled the tape off.



Oddly enough the tube runs up on a slight angle to it works perfect



It's hard to see but there are rubber grommets the bolts go through so I will be using Nylock Nuts so I don't have to
worry about them coming loose. You can also see the bolt that is on the intake tube that I will be using to secure
the intake tube to the bracket.





I am going see if I can find a shorter nut as it doesn't need to be this thick.



Looks like everything worked so off to the powder coater we go.
