Default Inlet manifold wedge

Iv reversed the inlet manifold on my MY94 project car, iv solved the icsv fouling problem but now need to angle the throttle body down so the inlet pipe from my fmic does not foul bonnet, has anyone made up this wedge mod before? any ideas/help will be very much apriciated.

Thanks

Ian.

Zen supplied a couple that I no of.

In my experience its just easier to have the manifold in the original position and just have the tb switched by welding a plate and swapping it to the front, you should be able to find a good alloy welder to do this for around 100. Even with the wedge it’s pretty close to the bonnet. And this way you don’t have the icv at the front.

Alternatively any good machining shop should be able to knock you up a wedge assuming you give them the correct measurements.
