Joe, is the selfie a photo of you with the son of the former Palm Beach County Public Works employee, or is that an imposter?
This is gonna sound weird: We have no idea who this guy is. We don't pay him. We don't have a contract with him. He just shows up at all of our big remotes and does his Cap'n Jack routine. He seems harmless, and the crowds love him, so we just kinda let him slide.
Based on experience, I suspect that the threaded-rod sections will either bend or stretch under heat and load (depending upon the forces being applied), but I doubt that their presence will hurt anything.
Joe, I have no room to triangulate the supports.
Stainless rod was the best I could think of with the available space.
The manifold itself is very strong - 3 mm wall thickness all around.
My main concern is the load on the manifold studs that go into the aluminum head.
Man.... i've followed your threads so i understand how and why that all works, but my brain still fights with my eyeballs every time i see pictures of it.
Boys like Peter are afraid of a lot of things,
like nuclear annihilation and flunking algebra,
but they're not afraid of wolves.

But Grandfather got Peter in a headlock and dragged him home,

I witnessed a remarkable conversation Wednesday evening from the back seat of a Ford pickup in rural Central Georgia. I regret not capturing the first few minutes of dialogue but it was even better and because of it I was compelled to record and share the characters with you all. The hunched over crazy old woman was only part of the story. I was unable to show the other two characters outside of the truck - a tall, scrawny blonde woman with sagging skin on her face arms and legs, and a rather rough looking slightly less emaciated male counterpart. They appeared to be conducting a weight loss study related to the effects of illicit substances.
