Re: Hood braces? Mine are missing

Russ - I always wondered and assumed it was to miss the oil bath air cleaner? Tex, those would be easy to fabricate out of some round rod with a piece of shaped flat bar welded to the ends. The factory ones are welded together where they cross. The factory rod is 3/8" diameter steel. The material and time would be less than the gas and time to find them!
