Re: Aftermarket Throttle Bracket Problems.......

Yea mines the one back carb bolt deal and it moves if I grab it. I'm afraid of breaking the stud or stripping the intake if I tighten that bolt anymore, or snapping the carb ear off.

I actually put some thread locker on it, and tightened the hell out of it. I was also afraid of it stripping, but you can just feel when it's tightening, and when it's gonna strip. Just be real careful. Mine will still move a little, but not bad.
