Whats this for?

[Brown747]

I regards to the picture of 911LVRs engine... What was the unused pad cast onto the intake runner used for? Can this pad be cut off and shaped to the rest of the intake for a cleaned up appearance? I'd like to do that to my 78 if there are no drawbacks.

Don't have my car in front of me, but that could be where the A/C bracket mounts.

This pad is not used on my 78. THe A/C that was mounted picked up the intake studs/nuts.

Mine is a '79. I'll take a look later today. Memory tells me it is drilled/tapped for a stud.

The same intake runner (casting) is used on the opposite side -- look there for your answer.

[Brown747]

Got it! Thanks.

You're thinking about cutting it off now, aren't ya?

[Brown747]

I'll be adding it to my growing list..
