What should I add next? I'm trying to figure out how to hang the SC on there, but it's heavy. I'll have to hit studs and use string like i did on the header to support it.

Thanks Paul. I bought the fugly yellow one off Pat. It'll be coated in a more appropriate color once I get it. ![](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/smile.gif)
So I suppose I need a Protege valve cover gasket to go with it, eh? And fab up a braket to mount my coil packs, and reroute the vaccum hose that's now on the driver side of the VC, to the back where the Protege one is. Anything else I should be aware of?

There is a process to getting it to fit right.... and i have done it a few times.
Take all internal baffles out and clean throughly.
Using a mallet, hit the breather nipple back INTO the valve cover, it will fall out nicely.
Now find a large screw to put in that hole. The trick is to tap out the hole and cross-thread a bolt in the old breather location, put it on from the inside out, this way you don't have a bolt head on the outside. Cut off excess threads and smooth down.
I forget what size drill bit you need, but drill a hole where you see the yellow X in this picture. Then use a rubber mallet to gently press the breather fitting back into the valve cover.

Then make a small 90* elbow to hold the coil-pack onto the valve cover. You can see it here on the pax side.
