Notch the top where the bracket bolts down to the manifold, and then the distance from the throttle cable bracket holder needs to be about 1/2" out from where it is stock. Been waiting for John to finish doing a setup for a customer so i have pics and can repeat it here as well. Then we will have the modified brackets to go with the adapter and throttle body.

Or....you could just get a TCE TB and save yourself some aggravation unless Ben has the LX5 brackets made up by then.

hmm... 39 bucks for a throttle body plus 54 for the adapter so total of 93 bucks or spend over 250 on a tce tb.... i think ill stick with the lx5 tb. plus it looks almost stock-ish.

mmmm TCE throttle body. i have the 65mm, money damn well spent. looks great under the hood with it. performs well.
but hey, since you dont have time... spend the extra cash on a TCE TB and you can swap it out in 5 mins... if you even have time for that...    
smiles out the ass!

i meant no offence. but clearly you didnt take the TIME to read the thread, I don't have TIME RIGHT NOW. none of my installs will be until next year when my son and daughter are over the newborn / terrible two phase respectively.
I simply did not want to wait until next year to clear my corners. smh..
