It’s Just A Pickup

Clarification/correction for build post #7

I have received two private messages regarding the spark plug wire brackets on the back of the block

Sorry if my post was somewhat misleading, as a lot of times in my builds I modify or make custom parts and did not mention this in that build post, the aft wire loom stands on the back of the block falls into this category you will not find them in the R&M wire loom kits.

The stand was made from some 1 inch x 1/8 inch thick x 36 inch long aluminum stock I picked up from Home Depot. Made a paper template where I wanted the wires to run and clearing the automatic trans dip stick and on the other side made a separator bracket to have two spark plug wires go under the throttle cable and two go over the top so the wires would not ride on the throttle cable. As far a bending the stands I used two 45 degree bends to get the joggle in the stands (recommend not bending this aluminum stock more than 45 degrees with out proper brake that can radius the bend, this aluminum stock will crack at the bend)

The only place that I know of to pick up individual wire separator blocks the same that are used on the R&M wire loom kit that I used on the stands is from Enos Custom Components http://www.enoscustom.com you can download there catalogue and find the individual separator blocks on page 35. You will need to find some longer alien head bolts to use with the blocks if you want to attach the blocks to a bracket or stand.

Here are some closer pictures of the brackets.



Hope this helps anyone interested in where the brackets and blocks came from.
