The first artical weber TWM intake fit in my car by only removing the
master cylinder spacer.  Granted there was only 1/16 inch clearance
beteen the carb case and the MC, but it did fit.

To make the clearance better yet, I took a tad over 1/8 inch off the
end of the MC.  This is perfectly acceptable because the fitting end
is the low pressure "suction" side of the MC.

45mm cases would likely have additional clearance probs, where a smaller
MC would be needed.
