Worst case senario, it does not fit, and you sell it on Craigslist for $50.00.

the GT500 brace cleared my plenum cover with no problem, I needed the washers to shim the brace forward to clear the hood.

Use U shaped shims to figure it out... My guess is 1/8"?
How about an aftermarket hood to go with that?

If you are that worried about it I'll take it off your hands for what you paid for it...

I'm glad you've got my back on this one! woo

I don't understand what you're trying to say? I shouldn't worry about it fitting, yet you state its more complicated to get a STB right than fixing a tune? I disagree, I think it will be simple, but it's -40 here right now and I don't feel like hanging out outside trying different washers to get it right..
