Hi Charlie,

I would be interested in two if you are willing to ship (at my expense) to Nova Scotia.

Best regards,

Mick

hey @cek - if you aren't planning to fab more of these, would you be open to the idea of sharing the fabrication file you used to make them?

just a thought, for those of us stragglers just getting started on M30B35 ownerhsip...

No.

The M30B34 intake manifold is supported by two struts that bolt to the valve cover and a small bracket between the block and the bottom of the manifold.

The M30B35 does not have those ugly struts above and is instead supported by a beefy aluminum bracket connected to the engine mount.

The shape of the E28 engine mount prevents the aluminum M30B35 bracket from fitting. The HGL E28 M30B35 Intake Manifold Bracket is a simple, robust, solution to this problem.

If you don't have an M30B35 swap, you don't need one of these.

The new supplier provides powder coating (the old one didn't, so I had it done separately). To ensure they get the bends right we need to order a prototype.

I should have it next week...

On the last run, I lost money because I didn't factor in prototypes and coatings; this time around we need to make a bit of profit so they'll be pricier. Not sure exactly how much yet, but hopefully under fifty bucks each.

Travel (to Argentina because I predicted they'd win the World Cup) meant I couldn't get the prototype until today.

It's here and appears glorious.

I will test-fit in Vlad asap and if it fits as well as it looks a production run will start.

We'll be putting up a pre-order page on www.holygraillabs.com RSN.
