I'm attempting to duplicate the air cleaner bracket for an EFI conversion I am doing but I am finding very little information on the net about this part. I've been able to make a rough draft copy based on the low resolution image on britcar (http://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/127180/5497/obsolete____do_not_order) and the relative position of the air cleaner to other bulkhead features in engine bay pictures.

I'd like to get this a little more accurate than I currently have it before cutting the final piece. Does anyone have a better picture available or able to take a few measurements from one? I estimate that I will need to lower the bracket approximately 17mm from its current position in the engine bay as shown by the green plate in the model. Here is what I have so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.

H I have started doing the same and have given my bracket to a neighbour who has a business making similair products etc and has laser cutters and powder coating plant . He has started drawing this up, but I needed the bracket back to use the truck. I will be speaking to him again next week.

He has already made a bracket kit for the ECU which I have one of in my 110. These went NLA many years ago !

Even a picture without any measurements would help

Ended up eyeballing it. Fits good enough

I’ve been looking for one of these for years, but I was able to get my hands on an original and make a tracing. Could I possibly provide you more precise dimensions to refine your model? In the end did you end up laser cutting from the model or just wing it with an angle grinder?
