Need help with adapter
Hey guys, so I’m hoping someone can help me out here. I’m installing a 52mm S&S throttle body on my 03 Train but ran into a problem, S&S has a different bolt pattern, so I’m looking for a backing plate adapter that will let me mount S&S throttle body to Delphi style bolt pattern air cleaner ( Arlen Ness Monster Sucker ). I would really appreciate any help! Thanks!

man haven't heard that name in awhile.
can you make paper cut outs of the two patterns. making a plate is a very easy thing to do. important, put an index mark on both patterns so they can be aligned to each other. use a aluminum plate of proper thickness, cut out hole for intake, lay down the original pattern, transfer punch the holes, drill and counter sink for taper seat flat head screws (use stainless for aluminum). lay down new pattern aligned with index mark and do the same except the counter sink, not needed.
