What is this for on the 626 Mani?

[ForceFed]

What are the Towers circled in red for origianally?
I am thinking of removing these before I get the manifold Powdercoated next week.

Also....What are the two in orange origianlly used for as well?

The reds you can do without. Mine are gone, IIRC.

I think they were just for brackets and such. They're good to have.

No..I know they are for something..and I know we dont need them..I was curious what actually went the Originally.
I might use the rear ones..but I am going to shave the front ones.

Thats not even the same mani on that car.
Look at it closer.

 

[Jaysanooch]

Yup..noticed it now...I tried!

 

[DubbyDoo]

they hold brackets for the solenoids for the vtcs and vics. the other two singles on each end im not sure there some brackets that hold junk

 

[CitizenPro]

Yea, i used em to hold the connector plate. You can always hide them of course, to have a cleaner look..... Here's a pic, all i have for now:

 

[ForceFed]

Citizen...You a got a better pic of what you are trying to show....That angle isn't the greatest.

i used it for the solienod connected to the fuel rail. the stock bracket is to the right of that, and all i did was just move it over?

what did everybody do for the fuel rail connector?

What are you talking about actually..Fuel Rail Connector?
I thought the stocker went right back on this?

 

[jamesk]

there are three solienods. i used that bracket for the fuel rail solienod, and left the vtcs and vics hanging.

 

[igdrasil]

This was mine, hope it helps. slightly different, it just hold stuff and thingies...

 

[ForceFed]

Well....I took the mani to the Knife and cut the Stud towers off.
What do ya guys think?

I left the rear two which are very hard to see and could be used to add a bracket later..Hidden and out of sight.

Now its off to the Powdercoater for a nice shiny coat.

I would ground it all smooth prior to shipping it to pwdr!! Pwdr does not hide all the ripples!!

Dude..Trust me..I know powdercoating well.

Its all good.
It will blend well.
The coating they use will flow all of the rough casting on this out...You'll never see it just like it sits. (yes)
