Throttle body modification

[1WheelWonder]

I'm sure i'm not the only one to have hood clearance issues with the s13/vh combo. Was wondering if anybody has modified/deleted the arm on the throttle body pulley which goes up rather high under throttle. I've already taken the saw to the hood to clear the intake manifold and cannot spare the extra width room to clearance a section of hood out for the arm. I've also thought about ditching the VH tb pulley all together and salpping on one from the KA engine but the rod diameters are different, and ideas guys/gals/guysthatwannabegals.............

I just bowed my hood by using a 2x4 block where the firewall meets the hood and gently massaged it to clear the, .........well everything.

Cut the top off of it and weld in a small piece to keep the ends from coming apart. That is the last piece on the car you want to get stuck on the hood!!!
