LS intake threaded holes for throttle bracket

[chaplinfj60]

good am,

so i am getting ready to hook up my throttle bracket and on the 2005 intake there is only one threaded hole, the other two have a metal ring or something put into the plastic intsead of threads. is there a kit or do i just tap them?

No kit, you need a 02 down intake if you want to do this.

Other option is to fill it with JB weld and drill/tap

 

[chaplinfj60]

02 down?
JB weld was mentioned to me also, did not think it that easy. lol

The intakes from 2002 and below year models with a DBC TB will have the threaded inserts

Could you use a threaded nut zert or something similar? Epoxy it in and be done?

yes for sure. i think the threaded one will do all the holding the other two will keep it from spinning.

You can tap the plastic 3/8"-16 also

I got some of these for mine and they fit well. I had to open up the holes in the bracket a little, but no big deal. 5/16-18 Flush Press Insert - Brass - 240-5-Br - Pkg Qty 10

I used one of these kits when I swapped on a TBSS intake on my drive by cable engine. They may make other throttle body size brackets, just first one that came up
