Help! Berk Intake

So I finally installed the berk intake on my car but i did realized that it does hang a bit and i saw in the picture from the berktechnology website (link http://www.berktechnology.com/shop/p...D=279&P_ID=450) that its missing this piece.

Question is, where can i buy this circled in the green.

One of those came with my JWT. Not sure if they're very widely available. Call Berk see what's up.

You don't really need it if you bolt up everything tight. If you want to, you can make that yourself... I don't have it myself.

Buy a strip of stainless or aluminum, 1" wide about 7" long. Put one end in a vise. Use an adjustable wrench on the other end and crank it 90*, then drill a hole at each end

We have a winner.

The same strip of polished aluminum came with my old Frankencar. Just go to LOWES or Home Depot and DIY. Of course, first contact Berk and ask them for the part.

If Berk doesn't send you one, I agree with DIY.

Since my intake was custom made by me, I went to Lowe's, bought some aluminum stock used a table vise, hammer, and table grinder...

...finished product.

^^^
Using the clutch bleeder valve bolt... excellent idea. And it matches well with the adapter plate.

I always thought the traditional technique (using the top of the strut) was somewhat compromised for proper leverage.
