Default A few pics of my bracket for solenoids...

I have the power ring but dont have the bracket that came with the kit as it was acquired seperately. So, as opposed to ordering one up and a little motivation from Nitro DAVE, I made my own with my favorite manufacturer in mind as the motif. Enjoy:





Thanks Dave !

Thanks, I wanted something a little different from all the plain brackets. It's made out of 16ga. ( i think) aluminum. It's not even polished yet.

Nice, I wish I would have got mine a little farther from the head like yours. How did you do the nice radius corners?

Thanks LETZ, Dave and Robert ! I think the TNT kit is nicely done but with the bracket, ring, solenoids and lines all in the area of the Throttle Body...it ends up cluttered there.

Dave - ya, it didn't take me long after we spoke. I got on the web and searched for a bowtie logo, threw it in Photoshop to enlarge it to almost 3"X5", printed it out then cut it out and traced onto the aluminum. Snipped away here and there, made a basic 90' bend bracket with tabs to reinforce it and drilled them both for the 'noids.

Robert - the "finishing" on the bowtie was done with a dremmel. I took a very small round sander with fine grit and went around the piece. It was already mostly rounded from the template, I just completed it.

If anyone wants one, let me know and i'll make it for the cost of the materials.
