Show Me Your Header Braces

[davethewave]

I just bought some new Bassets (the long ones) and need some ideas on how to secure 'em and prevent 'em from cracking later on down the road. (I mean River)

Here’s a pic I found online on what some people use. Bassett made them. Couple hose clamps and a couple bolts and you’re braced up.

I ran braces on my Hondo, didn’t really need them but thought they looked cool.

Don't have any braces.... but I've used the steering wheel before

I think they look cool as well.

Basset headers and braces were pretty much standard in the eightys on v-drives and jets.

Yeah, ok...I think I'll give Basset A call and see how much they'll make A sucker out of me this time, after paying $1900 for my Headers. Thanks for the pics.

I remember shelling out close to $700.00 for a pair and my friends were all that is ridiculous.
