you'll need to plates one to allow you to bolt it to the head and the other is a spacer plate that goes inbetween the two halves of the inlet to raise it up by 13mm so that the throttle body can clear the zetec cam cover.

yes,
I would prefer to see one in situ so I can gauge the issues in fitting it to a caterham type car.

Currently got a zetec 1.8 on carbs.
