BTW - that bracket does look much better than the other one.

We have the second bottle, but we're still waiting on the billet dual bottle bracket.. So we haven't run the lines yet. We've got almost everything else we need, but still waiting on a few minor things that are holding the process up... IE. We still have not received the switches that I ordered almost 2 weeks ago. They were on back order, but supposedly shipped out late last week. So hopefully those will get in soon...
I'm sure we could install the nozzle in this tube without breaking it, but if you have something you'd rather do just let me know...
Thanks,
Chuck

Sounds good. You know what I just noticed? The bracket that Sean made had the belt routing over the top of the waterpump which really created a tight fit. This solution appears to have better belt routing.
Go ahead and nozzle up the plastic intake tube. If it cracks, we'll do something different. If it works, we are that much closer to being finished.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming...

I got mad while removing it the last time, and I ripped it in two. The thing is entirely too fragile.

Chuck - Can you get a better picture of how far the belt rides out on the LS1 water pump pulley. It was a concern that since the LS1 accessories sit back closer to the block than the trucks that the truck belt would be pretty far out on the LS1 pump pulley.
Thanks
John
