Custom Power Steering Bracket?

I have recently installed hedman headers on my Iroc. Problem with that is the stock power steering bracket will not fit now. I swear I have heard people talk about custom brackets that get made for headers. Anyone have any info for me? Thank you in advance.

Cut off one leg. Just use one bolt mount to the header. Use a spacer so the header flange and spacer will be the same thickness as the stock manifold, and a stock manifold bolt.

I used a set of March brackets on my car that work perfectly and look good to boot. Check Summit or Jegs for them. I also use Hedman headers as well.

Re: Custom Power Steering Bracket?

I had a 305 H Carb which had the 3-belt setup. The PS bracket had a mount that bent around to the LF header bolt. The stock used a long stud with an extra stud on top fo a nut to tighten down the bracket to. I simply went and got a thick 2" steel tube from Lowes and cut it to the deired length to take up the space. Instant spacer! That was Headman headers too. Ive since got SLP 30005C headers and they already have it welded to them.
