When I was scrounging for parts, I came across the aluminum EFI plate sitting on top of late 80's Ford 3.8 L intake manifolds. I realized that a little dremmel work on the "V" followed by paint and block sanding to cleanup the raised aluminum edges was all that was needed to bring out the truth beneath. See pic.  ahtoews@shaw.ca |

In the original application, 7 fasteners looking like short spiral nails were used to secure . . . I intend to use short allen head bolts with sealing washers underneath when I'm actually ready to fasten. To remove from the 'surogate'intake(I've pulled about 3 off), I hammer/chisel each of the 7 fasteners sideways / vertically a few times to loosen their grip in the aluminum. Then I CAREFULLY pry from underneath while simultaneously giggling the nearest fastener. Seems to work. Quote:

The dreaded, (what I call), drive rivets. Thanks for the info, and removal tips. Think I'll go see if I can find any today. Roger GTS225@aol.com |
