Default Moving PS reservoir bracket for LS3 TB

I remember reading about it in one or two posts, but no luck when searching.

Was on the phone with Josh from A&A ordering the last few pieces for my new setup and he mentioned using spacers of about 1" to 1.5" to clear the throttle body's actuator housing. Finding spacers is fine. Adapting the feed tube is fine. But where can I find bolts to work which are the right length? Anyone know?

Also.... sue of spacers sounds like the simplest solution. Better then trying to cut or weld the bracket (since I don't weld). Any other ideas?

You only need one ear to hold the PS reservoir on. Cut the inside one off. The one that's outside the reservoir, cut the ear off and get a 1" steel piece welded in to space it out.

Don't have a welder, I get it. If you don't have one local, you can mail it to me and can weld it up.
The other option is to measure the length of the factory bolt. If you add 1", add 25.4mm to the length of the bolt and search for that length bolt. The factory bolt is 75mm, look for a 100mm. You can find them all over the internet, including ebay. The bolt size is 10mm and the pitch is 1.5.
To get a flange bolt from these guys, you have to buy 20, but this is what you need.

I don't remember which suppliers (probably from eBay) I used but it wasn't too hard to find what I needed. I used two spacers, its hard to see the other one in this pic.

Looks good. I've got bolts in hand, but I haven't had luck finding spacers locally that fit yet.
