    saw a bracket I liked but it was too wide.
    went down to Harold's shop and drew one up.
    I drilled the mounting holes.
    Harold milled out the adjustment slot for the cable slides.
    then he blew it out with his plasma cutter.
    I took it and filed on it a little.
    now just need to polish it and it will be done.
    this all started out when I asked Harold if he had seen one that wasn't as wide...he said "we could see one in a few minutes".

    best tool in my shop...Harold...:thumbs2:

    didn't relize that the first bracket I made was a...proto type...LOL
    I now have five proto types made and just made a change to the 5 th one to make a 6 th.
    I needed a bracket for my ECU so I desided to make it into the throttle bracket.
    after I got it made I thought...it would look better behind the breather... so we cut out another bracket...:slap:
    now that it is mounted on the intake...I saw one more change, this only took a small mod.
    I should have it finished up tomorrow and maybe post a final pic.:huh:
