MAP Sensor Mount

Changing manifolds from the stock LS3 to the Holley Dual Quad Manifold has left me with out a MAP Sensor mount.
The Holley Manifold has a 3/8" NPT port on the back of the manifold as a vacuum port.
Usually this would be used for a Brake Booster or Vacuum Tank, but i will use this port for the MAP Sensor.

The boss on the back of the manifold is shaped like a shield, the 3/8" NPT hole is not central to the boss.







My son Tom is studying year 12 systems engineering, he's in to all the latest tech gear, 2 years ago, he invested in a "Kickstarter" project by a company called Formlabs who were developing a high resolution SLA 3D printer.
For his backing, he was entitled to a 3D printer when they started producing, which we received in March 2014.

So, for the MAP Sensor mount, I designed a part to fit the boss which would be held in place by a 3/8" NPT plug with a 12mm hole bored through it for the MAP sensor to locate in.
The MAP sensor is then bolted to the mount using a Rivnut held in place on the reverse side of the mount.

Finished part with a Rivnut insert from the rear with MAP mounting bolt.
