Default Elite Catch can install help

In the process of installing the Elite Catch Can on my 2007 LS2 I purchased from Corvettes of Houston. Has anyone else had an issue with installing this without a spacer and longer bolt ? Mine came with two short bracket bolts and washers which does not allow sufficent clearance. The posted install instructions show a spacer and longer bolt. The packing slip indicates the spacer is only required for the LS3. Corvettes of Houston wanted $10.00 plus shipping for the spacer.

I installed mine Saturday, very easy. The catch can bracket is even adjustable meaning the holes are slotted so you can move the can further away from the cylinder head.

PM me your cell number if you want me to take a couple pic's and text them to you.

John,,

Thanks..I went to ACE hardware and picked up 2 spacers and longer bolts. Mine would not clear the smaller vacum/electrical connector that is adjacent / towards the top where the bracket mounts. Or at least it was too tight for my comfort. Everything is mounted now. Thanks again

Nice going, I forgot I modified my bracket for the smaller vacum/electrical connector when I did my FAST intake a while back. Glad you were able to put it all together!
