<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
