Default Ls3 intake in a f-body throttle cable question

I need a throttle cable bracket that does not bolt to the back of the throttle body like the one from scoggin dickey because I have a plate kit that I am running. Any other companies making the conversion brackets?

Default Brackret

If you have the stock ls1 cable bracket I can show you how to make it work and it looks clean and not rigged.

Here are some pics all you need to buy is a little piece of thin angle from home depot or lowes which cost like 3 bucks.Just have to weld in two spots it looks clean.Also Google the slp cable bracket and compare it to mine.If you need anything else just let me know

I bought the SDPC unit last summer which bolts to the back of the TB and wasn't happy with the pedal height and cruise cable slack, so they gave me a good deal on a NW 92mm because they didn't have the problem on NW92's. So I replaced the BlueMax90 that Vengeance had sold me to go with my prior motor's Fast92 intake. I also wasn't happy that I needed to hack on the acoustic cover to make it work.

I recently bought the SDPC billet bracket from another forum member just in case it would allow me to use an unhacked acoustic cover. I installed it this past weekend and I went back to the TB mounted version. The billet placed the throttle pedal too close to the floor, unhid part of the hacked cover but still wouldn't fit without the hack, and didn't have the unintended benefit of the TB bracket which kinda prevented the LS1 MAP sensor from falling out. In fact, one could probably modify the TB bracket to help keep the LS1 MAP sensor in place.

I'd like to buy a pre-fabbed bracket which could give adjustable cable slack, be lined up perfectly behind the TB cam so it doesn't rub against the edge of the cam, and fit correctly with the acoustic cover.

I haven't used it before, but would jb weld be strong enough to hold a bracket like that together? Would be nice to spend $10 and make my own bracket but I don't want to worry about it snapping apart.

Not sure you found a solution to this yet but I am about to make myself one...be glad to throw one together for you as well if you have the LS1 cable bracket.
