carbz Member 118 Member For: 15y 3d Gender: Male Location: Townsville Posted 15/06/10 09:25 AM Author Share Posted 15/06/10 09:25 AM all the holes on the inside of the plenum will be tapped out and I will wind studs into them from the bottom then dropp it through the bottom side and wind a nut on from underneath. I will just drill out the thread on base so the studs will just drop through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangeute338 Suspended 260 Member For: 16y 5m 29d Gender: Male Posted 19/06/10 08:03 AM Share Posted 19/06/10 08:03 AM yeah true, not sure ay when I made my other one I welded the plate to the bottom half and filled in the gaps so it was all smooth, it should be ok that's what all the other ones are like there all flat on the bottom and just bolt down....or just cut you base out like the gasket and top half how it just has the half moons then one big slot for the round holes....
