Default Reverse inlet manifold wedge

After abit of info regarding manifold wedge, I have a v3 that I have done a reverse inlet on but having problems with clearance issues with shutting the bonnet as top hose is touching. Can I get a manifold wedge without welding it onto the manifold as in just place in between throttle and manifold and user longer bolts?

Also where can I get a wedge from?
Thanks in advance.
Zak

You wont be able to use a wedge and longer bolts as the angle of the throttle body will change so the bolts will not screw in straight any more.

Easier option is to take a little bit out of the bonnet where the pipe is catching to give you clearence
