In the mid-seventies, when I put headers on, nobody told me about the drop bracket. And as soon as I went to move the car, it pulled the bracket right out of the frame rail. That's when I found out about the drop brackets and put one on and did all kinds of stuff to make it stay in place. But eventually, it kept coming loose, and I had this one in the pictures made up. Never had another problem after that But now I have electric power steering so I don't have to worry about it anymore either.

I have seen and used various solutions but haven't seen that before. Where did the brace bolt too?

I have seen two variations of the drop bracket, but nothing like that before either.

It bolts in the area that is circled. Rich Rodeck made it up for me years ago.

If it starts it's streetable.

Is Mr Rodeck still available for manufacturing these?

Rich Rodeck retired after building my Mustang. He's just working on his own cars.
