I got it from work. It was a tubular steel powdercoated (looked more like wrinkle paint to me) intercooler piece from Corky Bell's old Miata turbo kits that I cut to the angle I needed and had my room mate weld it and sand it down. I gave it some heavy coats of high temp aluminum paint to match the other charge pipes.
Ever since I removed my A/C a while back, I have been using pusher slim fans. Any puller mounted fan would probably cause clearance issues with either the charge piping or dumptube.

i made the same mistake.
the hole u used is for the RHD cars with the throttle cable that goes over the top of the valve cover.
use the bolt that was originally used with the car stock. that will have continuity through the head and the block.
Good looking out. I didn't really think about it. I'll move it to the grommet where it originally was.
