Default Plenum Spacer Hardware ?

Did some searching on all forums but couldn't really find anything.

I bought a used plenum spacer. Believe its a 5/16 Skunk2 racing one.

I would like to know exactly what hardware i would need to make this plenum spacer work.

Trying contacting Skunk2 but they wont pick up.

thanks for the help. Ill post a pic of it soon

A plenum spacer comes with

extended bolts for the exterior
spacers for the interior
2 gaskets.

Often the cost of the hardware alone with exceed the cost of the complete kit.

The kit is similar to the Motordyne kit. All parts listed at Motordyne.

Gaskets (2) are OEM.

Did some more searching and found this:

• (1) intake plenum spacer
• (6) spacers
• (18) M6 flat washers
• (9) M6 x 1.0 x 45mm bolts
• (3) M6 x 1.0 x 60mm bolts
• (4) M6 x 1.0 x 80mm bolts
• (2) M6 studs
• (1) 90 degree plastic coolant barb



Removal of the intake plenum:
1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
2. Drain engine coolant.
3. Vehicles equipped with a strut tower bar - remove the strut tower bar. It CANNOT be used with this plenum spacer installed.
4. Remove the plastic engine cover. (Diagram A)
5. Remove the air cleaner and air duct. (Diagram B)
6. Remove the throttle body.
7. Remove the coolant hoses.
8. Remove bracket and vacuum hoses. (Diagram C)
9. Remove all 18 nuts and bolts. (Diagram D)
10. Remove the intake plenum. (Diagram E)
11. Remove the 2 studs. (Diagram F) and replace with the studs supplied in this hardware kit.
12. Clean inside the intake plenum surface area. (Diagram G)
13. Remove the 2 coolant lines from the throttle body. Join the 2 coolant lines with the enclosed plastic elbow barb. (Diagram H)
Installation of the Skunk2 intake plenum spacer:
1. Install the Skunk2 intake plenum spacer. It is recommended that silicone sealant be applied to the top and bottom of the Skunk2 intake plenum
spacer. (Diagram I) CAUTION: Do not pinch the oil fill rubber seal. (Diagram J)
2. Install the 6 Skunk2 spacers. It is recommended that silicone sealant be applied to the top and bottom of the Skunk2 spacers. (Diagram K)
3. Install the factory intake plenum. (Diagram L)
4. Install the bolts and washers included in this kit. See diagrams M, N, and O for correct placement of bolts. HAND-TIGHTEN THE BOLTS.
Overtorquing the bolts may cause irreparable damage to the spacer.
5. Reinstall all coolant hoses.
6. Reinstall all vacuum hoses.
7. Reinstall the throttle body. Tighten bolts to 7 lbs/ft.
8. Connect harness connector to the throttle body.
9. Reinstall the air cleaner and duct.
10. Refill coolant.
11. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.

Now the problem is ..it says you can not use the strut bar. I guess i have to find some spacers for the strut bar or is that a no no?

And i think the spacer is 5/8 thick

I'd suggest asking a mod to move this thread out of the HR section. You'll get a bunch more help.
