I really do not like looking at the throttle assembly next to the intake on the 32 valve cars. I think it would be great to have a molded plastic cover to fit over the throttle mechanism. Mine is even worse without the original Intake tubes. Thoughts?

WWRGD?

(What would Red Green do?)

You lost me there.

He would fabricate something out of 100 MPH tape.


Talk to Jerry Feather. Maybe he will make something out of ABS for you.

I was thinking of Jerry Feather. It would be real easy if not for the cable ball sticking up some. The center would need a little rise to it for clearance for the throttle operation. Other than than it would just be flat plastic with folded down edges to look nice. I might start looking at pick a part yards to see if I can find something that will work from a junk car.

I 2nd this idea, would be Great!..You hearing this Jerry?

Jerry Feather

Yes, I hear ya. That is a cool idea, one that I hadn't thought of.

Right now I am doing some WW Liners, working on the revision of the froms to make Cowl Covers for the down under guys with RHD cars, and I just did some preliminary work on a new project I have been thinking about--GTS Style Aero Mirrors that fit into the bottom front corner of the door windows instead on the door. Those I plan to make out of fiberglass rather than ABS as with most of my other stuff.

I'll put this new idea in the hopper and smoke it a while and see what comes of it.

Development of a solution for a problem that does not exist.

Not exactly a sound foundation for a business model.

Unless you're apple, then it really works!

MjRocket

No ****...Right!

MjRocket

I would totally jump on a set of Aero mirrors Jerry, Please make this a reality.

Jerry Feather

He doesn't like looking at it so I would say that is a problem, at least for him. I suspect it is just about the same size of "problem" that I made the Windshield Trim Gap Filler Strips to "solve," and I have sold quite a few of those.

I do think the throttle/cruise assembly looks a bit of a mess. I now have a black power coated intake & cam covers and this bolted onto the intake side does looks a bit out of place with this color scheme.

I was actually thinking about something like this recently - an open bottomed cover with side/front closed and rear mostly open. I think I'd make it (or re-purpose something) out of aluminum though - gets real hot there and I don't want it drooping on the throttle assembly.

I like to look at mechanical things not engine covers. Most new engines are "covered up" a trend that I disfavor.

I hate looking under the hood and not seeing an engine!
