Power steering Ram bracket?

**Jager302** · 10-10-2006, 02:04 PM

I have a 1969 Ford Fairlane with a small block, and I had to install an aftermarket ram bracket so the headers would clear the ram.

Anyways it has now broke, has this happened to any of you? Trying to figure out if it just gave way from fatigue or some other trouble is brewing?

..let me add that I installed the headers and bracket around eight years ago, not recently.

yes i broke one, and many others have too. reweld it or weld a few spots of it onto the frame. just a weak weld to begin with.

Thanks. I got a new one from flowtech(holley), and its much beefier than the hedman unit that broke. So hoping this lasts longer. [img]/forums/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img]

i think i broke them both. the bolts seem to vibe loose. so do some tiny spot weld here and there.
