Club Car 460 install throttle/switch box interference

Boet · 01-17-2016, 01:18 AM

Here's the deal-- 1993 CC DS, 6 inch lift. Installing the VC 460 with the Vegas carts kit but the carb/intake studs hit the throttle/Microswitch box.

Any reason not to raise the engine up with spacers, or I drop the electrical box?

Thanks.

Modded the box and moved it down.

Some carts have some details you just have to work around. The G9 the airbox is near hitting the shock, I had to cut my crank short as I could to give any room there. The recoil near hits the fuel tank as well. Have a new clutch that is thinner and more room with that now.

I can take pics of the pieces I cut off.

Well, I tossed the pieces I cut off. Here is a description of what I did--
The relay/switch/throttle box has two bosses that are cast/molded into the box. These bosses are slotted, allowing a carriage bolt to be slid into them. These carriage bolts attach to a cross member. The cross member is aluminum I-channel. The bottom of the bosses prevent the box from being re-positioned down, as they rest at or near the top surface of the bottom part of the I. Basically, I cut off the bottom of the bosses, then drilled a new mount hole for the inboard mount bolt. For the outboard mount bolt, I riveted in a piece of .060 aluminum, and drilled a hole for the mount bolt.

I had to rivet in the aluminum sheet as there is a lightning hole/pass through hole below the existing mount hole. I will try to remember and take a pic before I reassemble everything in that area.

Sheet aluminum to cover lightnening hole and relocate the hole downward for the throttle box mounting hole.
