3) Stock Thermostat housing..(there all ordered, im just waiting for them to come in.
4) 2 bolts (one for the alternator and one for the idler pulley) all your other V2 bolts will work...
Im still waiting for a price on the modified thermostat housing...I dont wanna post up any kind of Final price yet, due to the fact that I dont have pics to back it up, and Im still waitin for price on the modified thermostat housing...after that Ill add it all up and post it up..I dont really want to post a price and jsut leave it out there...just a price with NO pics, it kinda weak...
Give me some time, but this is coming together pretty well..I hope these sell

I think he means the bolts that are used to mount the plate to the engine. For instance, Stillen does a good job with their chart for the V2 instructions (which bolt type goes in which hole). So the questions is, which bolts go in which holes for the V1 plate?

Yea if you would like...Its going to be another maybe week or week and a half before I start to send these out..
If you want to save on paypal charge of 3% you can send a money order...
**When I put up the final thread on the V1 plate kit, if people pay throgh paypal, you will need to add 3% for paypal fees**
Slimer, if you do send the $400, when you send in the rest of the balance just add on the 3% to that, if you like

how long did it take u to install it on the second car, by the way...
and if correct here...the biggest pain in the v2 install is gone when ure installing the v1 now

as someone mentioned earlier....not sure if this was answered....this also means for the current v2 plate users the alternator has to be bolted back to its original position? or will the v1 plate clear all of this? Just another curiousity question

I have never installed a V2, so I'm not to sure what needs to be done with the alternator when you install your V2. But with the V1, the top bolt of the alternator comes off, and the bolt that goes through the Plate, (comes with kit) and lines up through the top hole of the alternator...
If the question is, "When you install the V1 plate, does the alternator stay in the stock location?" then YES..

You will also have to grinde off the NUB of the alternator to make room for the Modified Thermostat Housing. You can either take the alternator off, and take it to a bench grinder, or take a dremel to it and grinde it off. I took the Dremel route and it took no longer than 20 minutes. Pictures will be taken, dont you worry

So are you going to intall one and use it for a while or are you putting yours back on and selling the new ones? Will that make Steve the first to try one out?

My blower will be going back on, once he gets a few thermo housings made..(cant put the plate on without the thermo housings)
Heres what youll need to shave on your alternator...took me 15 min with a dremel bit like this
Just make sure you dont hit the threads
