I am looking to re-install a shield and bracket on my 87 GN. It did not have either when I got the car. I found a decent set and cut the shield for my 3" DP and blasted and powder-coated both. When trying to get the bracket to mount on the intake, it seems I have about 1" to an 1" 1/2 space between the front of the intake and bracket. is there supposed to be standoffs in between the bracket and intake? Also, anyone know the correct bolt that goes in the intake?

Turbo is a TA62

The bracket bolts to the head. The bottom bolt goes through the negative cable ring terminal and the bracket. I use a piece of paper towel in between the bolt and the socket to keep it from fall out as I lobe it up with the cable and bracket. The correct bolt is 10x1.5 thread and has a 13mm head. It's an uncommon bolt. No standoffs are used. Leave the bracket loosely bolted and bolt it to the ears on the turbo exhaust clamp. Then tighten all retaining bolts and nuts
