i like it whats holding down the other side

Octave · 08-10-2009, 04:32 PM

it's like a battery cover for a remote. The cover has a tab that slides under a bracket on the VC to keep it down. then you screw in the other side and it stay locked down.

LikeTheMovies · 08-10-2009, 04:41 PM

Won't the wires run into that? seems a little low

Octave · 08-10-2009, 04:46 PM

I don't think so, I can go fit it. It's has ton's of space for wires but I'll test it and if it doesn't work "back to the drawing board". this RR cover is sooo much taller then a DE.

thats what i was thinking....

Octave · 08-10-2009, 04:58 PM

found some old thick magnacore compitetion wires and they were fine.

Nismo_34 · 08-10-2009, 05:56 PM

I don't mean to sound nit-picky, but the wires don't lay like that when they are attached to the distributor. Could you get a fitment of the wires while attached?

Octave · 08-10-2009, 07:10 PM

Not sure about what your wanting to see because there are many ways to arrange your wires, but like i said tons of room. And if someone wants it 3/8'' shorter thats not a problem either. And if they want it flat with allen bolts on top I don't care but to me this looks way better then one single bolt right in the middle of the plug cover. No offence to those that build it that way. I have filed all the edges down to where a butter knife is sharper. I let my 4 year old play with this piece of metal.

anyways more pics

mirrortints · 08-10-2009, 07:27 PM

Lookin good ben!!!

btw, I got my coil packs next to solenoids so this will actually work perfectly!

U da man!

SER96VSPEC · 08-10-2009, 07:55 PM

so you figure out a cost? group buy?

NissanGuy · 08-10-2009, 08:26 PM

same for a VE, im guessing... if not i need to get a RR cover for my DE

Octave · 08-10-2009, 08:28 PM

I dunno bout group buy but if you send a RR or VE vc to me I'll make a plug cover for it and modify the VC to have it attach to it. 45 plus shipping not painted. I try to take my time and prep the VC for paint so it looks good once painted. If you want it painted that be extra but I think having someone Powder coat would be best. But 80 buck emblems shaved and painted. PM me if you want to work anything out.

SER96VSPEC · 08-10-2009, 10:28 PM

So you have to grind it down to bare metal to do what you do?

PEDRONX2k · 08-10-2009, 10:57 PM

Nismo_34 · 08-10-2009, 11:09 PM

Thanks for the pic

Now I'll have to get extra money to send you my RR VC.

Octave · 08-11-2009, 07:57 AM

well in the spots that get welded yes. I also file the VC's in side corners a little bit flater where the cover meets the vc. Kinda take some of the roundness out of the bend. Not a whole lot of metal maybe a 1/32 of material or 3/64". I might can do it with not doing that But the plate won't sit as flush. But the welding of the brackets will most likly ruin the paint thats on it getting so hot.

GT2871RBLUBIRD · 08-11-2009, 09:35 AM

looks good like the other

pr4mnceg20 · 08-12-2009, 07:22 PM
