[NSRCA-discussion] Header Brace

[Claude Weimer]

I used the Hatori header last season and did not have any problems with it
coming loose. I have heard and read of problems on this forum so I bought
two of the braces Central sells. The braces I bought from Central must be
for a header different than the ones I have, because mine does not have all
the holes around the flange. I am building an Impulse and I may have not put
a brace on the header, except I have a 50 size Oxalys with the smaller size
Hatori header and muffler and header and it came loose on this plane. I
really do not like to deal with things coming loose so I decided to do
something about it.

 

I know I am making a short story long so I will get to the point. I made my
own brace that is cheap, light, and easy to make. I used some 1/2 x 1/16
aluminum strap I bought at Lowes and a couple bolts. So I thought I would
shear it with the forum.
