1/2 plenum spacer w/ strut bar?
i want to get the mrev2 with the 1/2 plenum spacer. I know i need to get a aftermarket strut bar, but are there any that will fit the 1/2, or wil i just have to get the 5/16

You can try using spacers for the stock strut bar. Some people says it works and some says it doesnt. It didnt work for me. I know the APS strut bar will work with it and theres another one I cant remember at the moment.

about the best think you can do if you already have the 1/2 inch spacer is to install the thick spacers that they send you and then from there loosen the strut bar at the adjustment point shown here:
Bottom left of this pic - ignore the rest - Adjust at the middle hex, the other two are lock nuts to hold it in place.

- adjust it to fit all the bolts loosely by only turning them a few threads, do not tighten.
- do this for all locations
- then from there play with the adjustment **** and ensure you are clearing it with out pushing into the threads of the bolts
- use of a broken yard stick at contact points helps in finding the right position. (stick them between strut bar and engine points that its hitting. that will give you a yard stick worth of clearance) get it?
- tighten down if you get it to clear.
Like other said, some get it to work, others don't.
