there is a brace that sits at around 45 degrees out of tube. without it you risk cracks, namely hairline that can cause all sorts of idle issues.

should be easy enough to make one

i'm in the same predicament, was just going to bend up something out of a reasonable steel strap thickness

i thought it was odd seeing you frequently posting WTB ads for RWD mani's :lol:

although that looks really cool... my guess is he is refering to the metal bar between the block and the intake plenum on a 4age... IE down the bottom on the driver side
