Home made GM 3 Bar map sensor bracket

Just picked up a 3 bar map sensor and figured i make a bracket for it to mount in stock location. Just wanted to show you my 10 min project. Very simple but it does the job well. Next on my lil project list is making a battery tray and i just picked up tri point ast so need to mount that somewhere. I also saw some coil relocation mounts made where the cruise control normally goes.
Here goes a picture of the bracket before i drilled the mounting holes. Nothing fancy

Myself, I just took the stock bracket and bent it to make it work with the GM sensor. Lazy man's mod indeed. Not super pretty but it will work.

I know SakeBomb Garage sells a replica of Crispy's design.

I'm sure your DIY one will work well too.

im thinking of fabbing up oil catch can, coil relocation rack, surge tank, and misc brackets in the engine bay with aluminum. I might try getting a anodizing setup and start adding some color to the engine bay with all the aluminum

I'll more than likely pick up stuff off of you that helps make things pretty and convenient.
Especially since we just so happen to be in the same city and all. Haha.

@houseofsmokes, hit me up anytime. Getting knee surgery Jan 10th so I'll be out of work with a lot of free time for awhile

@chris, yeah I'll stop nagging you to get yours going just as long as you let me use your tig welder lol. And yeah we did a ruff street tune on the 3000gt running on 20psi. Got 11.97 with 1.8 60ft. Trapped at 118.
