Feeler on 7m 1ZZ coil Bracket

my IS coils are flopping around right now, so I'd buy one. I can always sell it with the coils if I switch to 1zz coils.
Finally got a hold of some is coils.
Here are the coils inside the 1zz coil bracket to see what changes I have to make.
Pretty sure I will have to open up the 3 holes and turn them into rectangles so the coils sit further in.
Also the last coil needs to be clock at a slight angle so it doesn't his the throttle linkage stand. And that last stand off will have to be obsolete.

Do you have a 7M head lying around? I'm not sure if that bracket will fit as shown, as the mounting bolt holes in the coils are nearly resting on the casting on my head, there isn't really any room to mount a bracket below them. I had to remove the center valley cover as well.

I had to look again (you had me wondering for a minute), but yes it is. That picture is with the car running on the dyno. A couple of the spots in the casting are pretty tight, and to get my coils to sit nicely I had to file down the mounting tab slightly if I recall correctly.
I bought spark plug wires for the is300 coils from 935motorsports, and the fit is pretty shitty. It looks quite messy, it's on my list of things to change - probably just make my own wires.
For a bracket you almost need it to press down onto the coils from the top. You can get away with a clamp holding both of the forward coils, and the #6 coil mounting hole almost matches the threaded hole in the valley plug (the big allen key ones). One of my ideas was to simply drill and tap a hole in a valley plug, and then have a bar to reach the coil mount holes. It doesn't take much to hold them in place. But keep in mind I've got a FFIM, so I'm not sure how my idea would work for people with stock intake manifolds and throttle linkages.

I'll send you money right meow for one, it's the only piece that's up in the air I need for my build
