If you know a little about engines it's a 1/2 hr. of work.

You can buy them for Summit or Jegs or Tubo City, it's all about your cash flow. A 1/2 in spacer is what I put in and with my stock hood and cleaner the wing nut went into my hood pad and seemed a tight fit. After I went to open element it gave me alittle more room. And It also took me around a 1/2hour or so, minus beer breaks.
