Modify LT1 fuel rail covers for traction control module?

My 96 has the traction control module on the driver side of the intake and im wondering if anyone successfully modified a set of Corvette fuel rail covers to work around it. Is it a rough looking end product?

I would do the !TCS over modding the FRC.

you need a non traction controlled throttle cable. unbolt it, unplug it, and replace the throttle cable.

Not that easy - you will loose your abs function - it is all tied in with the traction control module electronics

Cant you just relocate the TCS module to maybe underneith the cowl, like directly behind where it is. It looks like there is just a vaccuum line and an electrical conection so it shouldnt be that hard.

Has anybody ever done something like this?

Good luck finding an answer on this one, ive been asking the same question since i joined, and still have yet to get a yes to the question and then pictures. Plenty of people have simply removed it, but at least on this site, no one has moved it to a better location on an LT1 car. The LS1 location wont work cuz of the power steering pump resevoir there. If you have an SS intake, then it seems like you could easily locate the TCS module where the stock intake runs.

Re: UPDATE _ Modify LT1 fuel rail covers for traction control module?

UPDATE - I just finished installing these with the traction control module - I have yet to see anybody post pics of this completed on the board - I wondered for a while myself, and finally decided to just do it - the traction control module brackets just need to be notched around the same as a hose or like the alternator bracket.

It was actually quite easy - you just have to remove everything to start with, and then put stuff back on one piece at a time and keep cutting around each part that needs to get notched out.
