Talking DBW Radix Inlet Question

Has anyone with a Radix kit & DBW thought to remove the hunk of aluminum cast into the inlet tube on the Radix? This was previously used as a mounting point for the cable stuff.
If anyone has done this please post pics

You really think it would be worth all the work just to hack it off?

I would have a shop cut it off and blend it all, they can weld it too if they mill it too much and go through the side wall. I think it would look much cleaner without it. While you are at it have it extrude honed also.

I think it would look sweet as well.

No need to call, thanks grippy.

We are not about to change casting and machine tooling because you think it is not needed.
