On the parachute mount
What's an acceptable gap between the head and the tray ? I have .070 , my intake spacers do sit right on top flush so is this ok ? Silicone fill that ? Or mill some off the bottom of the tray to tighten the gap , it's a cast tray


....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....

.070 should be fine... fill it with silicone
EDIT
for stuff like that I like a bit of a gap so I can get
the silicone in there
