Dropped89, I guess you are asking how I manage to attach the ABS adaptor to the TB, well I use the same bolt and wingnut that used to hold the old airbox.
I used a spraypaint called Metalcast, made by DupliColor. Basically it will look like anodized not just flat paint. I used engine enamel for my manifold cover. Every hose is original since I bought the car back in 1989. I just cleaned them.
