ok, got the IM and spacers installed today!!! woo frikkin' hoo!!!!
made a couple brackets yesterday for the rear horiz bolts. i found some "T" brackets at the hw store that had hole spacing close to 1".
i drilled the holes out to fit the bolts.
then cut the un-needed part off, and deburred with the dremel.
sprayed with some hi-temp black i had laying around.
and installed with some SS hw.
make sure to check the spacing between the holes before tightening everything down.
since i am using oem gaskets above and below the spacers without using RTV, i laid the bottom gasket down, then set the spacers on top.
i did put a small amount of silicone lube (Super Lube) on all the rubber surfaces to keep them from tearing as i tightened down the bolts.
more to come.....gotta run to town.
