thanks barnat... You and 6LE have more and more new ideas all the time (Ill be catching up soon
) As far as the coil bracket goes I like it. It still leaves some clutter in the open but it is a change from stock which I think makes it look better. Now is this a STB/Bracket in one or is it an add on to a STB?

Coil bracket Ive had SOOOO many guys ask me what ide charge to make them one,, that i figuired 6litter would be the man to mass produce these for you guys I figuired if he had enough guys, he'd get a good deal on these STB's bare and could offer powder coating to your needs. This was powder coated by the way with the spacers .This idea just hit me one day while i was installing the coil kit under the cowl ,which i couldnt do because the rear drivers breather was in the way .So i was looking at the STB and it justy hit me LOL The coils are in a cooler area and its easy as **** to remove the whole piece in one shot for maintaince or rocker changes Also to show off your valve covers LOLwhich was the main reason for me!
Well, I guess if you dont have a STB and were looking to relocate your coils anyway it would be perfect. I already have a STB and FRCs as well, so for my set up it wouldnt be practical at this point in time. I guess it is just what kind of look you are going for. I like the idea though.

Maybe me or 6 litter will try it on a BMR (STB) which might clean up the cluter look a bit, instead of on this wider hotchis STB ?? It definatly would be cheaper build on the BMR or on the one tube STB, because i know this Hotchis one is a bit pricy LOL

Verdad Gallardo Yeah, I have a J&M STB and I can see it being a little harder to attach to than the hotchis, but I could be wrong. But then again now that I look at my setup, it woulnt look nearly as good as yours just because of the placement of the STB in relation to everything else.

and make cuts into the end tube pieces to get the right bend that i needed to keep the coil assemble centered between the intake and hood It can be done! Maybe ide even set some clay on the top of your STB ,,,to see how much room i have to play with above the STB for the coils?as you can see from mine,half of the coils are above my STB!

Actually If i were to do this on your STB ?The coils would sit in the same spot as mine do! But the illusion of the hotckis going back and under the coil ,gives it a cleaner look IMO
