Be warned, mine arrived last week and the bolt holes did not line up well. I had to widen the lower hole. Small issue, but other than that, it is well made.

Pics of what you had to do to make it fit please. I've already seen a handful of these in use with no issues...

No problem. I'll get some pics tomorrow. It was nothing extreme. About 5 min with a dremel.

ebinkerd, I'm not sure what issue you had, but I installed mine on a spare VE intake manifold I had on the shelf. Mine fit's perfect. It is an exact fit though, no room for wiggling. If you don't install it carefully (start one bolt, and then the other bolt before the first one is tight), it won't fit. If I start them both while loose, and then run both bolts down, mine fit great with no trimming needed. Here are some pics.

For some reason this posted twice?? So I'm clearing this one.

Here is a photo of the alignment of the second hole (large) with just the smaller bolt started. .

Here you can see where I had to remove some of the metal.

Here you can see better the difference between the machined surface inside the hole, and the surface in which I had to remove to get the bracket to fit.

Take it for what it is worth. Mine wasn't made right and I could not get it to work like g20-dubo suggested, it tried. But, five minutes with a dremel will fix it. No biggie.

I was able to stop the next batch of parts in time to make changes to fix this issue. I welcome feedback on things like this. I'm always striving to make a great product, but this fit the manifold that was lent to me. I apologize for the snafu.

Check out my new VE part. :)
Dmsentra, the bracket is very well made, and works as intended. Don't think I was trying to bash you publicly, and I should have gone to your first. I kinda blind sides you on that, my bad. Glad to hear you were able to fix the next batch, keep up the good work.
