Thumbs up Some go fast goodies showed up today (pics)and how I mounted rails










Im stoked. FPR, lines, DR X box for the 90mm.. Already have the rails mounted on the intake also.. Much much easier then I thought.. To use the brackets supplied with the rails, they will not work as they are made for ls1 style tall injectors.. Simple fix. Made a collar up on the lathe, that fit inside the mounting holes, then drilled through the mounts on the intake.. Used stainless pan head screws, I slowly ran them into the holes I drilled on the side of the factory mounts.. Worked like a charm. Now I can run bolts down in the top of the of where they were supposed to go initially to use as set screws so the new ones do not come loose.. Going to start on a cover for the top of the intake, that should hide all the ridges, ports/sensors on the top of it..

looks nice. a lot better than my hacked factory rails. But function over form for me. And being cheap helps too.

Thanks.. The rails will ultimately be cleaned and buffed, to a natural color. I am not a fan of the red, all the fittings will stay black, with stainless lines.. Gona take it slow, do it right..
