Default Header install tip

If your a one man show like me and want to hang your headers without help this is what I did. Go to lowes or any hardware store and buy a package (of 2 for .98 cents) metric bolts m8-1.25 x 40. using a piece of rubber to wrap the bolt and clamp and cut the head off. Screw bolts on each end of your head, hang your exhaust gasket then your header so simple and easy.

Hope it helps

Jeff

This trick works great on bell housings for transmission installs too. Take a hacksaw and cut a slot in the end so a screwdriver can be used for easy removal.
