If you look in my photo archive there are some random photos.

I made some Ali spacers from some tube, got some longer studding & also picked up a gsxr1000 fuel rail which meant that I could use the plastic sections & turn some new longer joiners on the lathe at work, there are people on here that will make a fuel rail for you if you do a search though, the spacing is an easy job.

I just need to fill the holes from where I removed the first set of butterflies.

I picked up an inlet manifold that needed some work as it had distorted when it was welded, got a friend to mill it flat & all looks good.

It has cost me £100 total for the throttle body conversion so far.
