how did you build your LTCC brackets?
Re: how did you build your LTCC brackets?
I put mine below the cowl, they look great, I can have nice valve covers, and
they are easy to do other things (like change the oil).
I went to Home depot, and got about 3 feet of threaded bolt stud, a bunch of nuts and washers, and some brackets that are for building fences with.
Then used self tapping screws to hold them to the cowl. Probably spent $20. I am very pleased with the result.
Pics are here, they kinda suck, but I can get better ones if you need.

Re: how did you build your LTCC brackets?
The oil fill was the problem, the brackets are mounted about an inch over the valve covers and they cover the oil filler cap. The only way to add oil at this point is to remove the coil assembly on the passenger side. Thats why I'm currently making my own valve covers that will make the removal of the coils easier. I'm thinking about adding an additional oil fill location on the side of the valve cover near the intake so I dont even have to remove the coil packs to add oil. I'll get you some more pics when I'm done with the valve covers.
