FRC install... help w/ cuts
Hello all. I just got my red frc's today, so I got on tech to search for an install write-up. Long story short, search doesn't work. No luck with google. If anyone has any pics of the correct cuts, including the 2nd fuel line, it would help me out a lot. Any info on the correct tools i should use would also be a great help. I have all emmisions stuff if that helps with the info i might get. Thanks in advance!

It was there when I bought these used. I can't remember if it was needed or not? You could always put them on and if you needed to add it you could easily drill a hole. I sold these a couple of years ago and can't remember what if any purpose it served.

I have the LPE frc's and all I had to cut was the area around the throttle cable plate. Nothing else. My car is a '99, so it's alot easier than the 00-02 cars. I've done them too, and those are the times i'm happy to not have an 00-02 f-body.

Thanks for all the help. I installed them Tuesday and i think they came out great! While test fitting to see where exactly I had to make the cuts I found out that they would fit w/ out the big cuts... All I had to do was cut the passenger FRC for the throttle bracket and drill a hole for the Dip stick. I did however have to cut a second fuel line slit in the driver side using a damn drill, a file, and some sandpaper. Took a few hours to make it look right. Here are the pics... Opinions are welcomed!

It's a choice. The simplest method is to cut them to fit & be done.
Buy the two-slot covers that were used on the 97-98 Corvette.
