Jay, I couldnt send the pics to you so im postin them here. you can see in the pics that the cylinder isnt even coming up to the hole in the bracket before it starts hitting. also, they show that the tube from #6 is the culprit and appears to have room to run another way.
Thanks loads for takingthe time to post pictures. This should help. The pictures were rejected because they were bundled into a zip file. With all the virus going around enclosed in zip files, many email providers are blocking all zip files. If you send regular .JPG files, they will usually get through with no problems. Once again, thank you for your response and pictures.
yeah, the second time i tried a little trick from work of renaming the file type. guess your filter is smarter than the one we use.
Sorry to bring back an old post, but I have a ? about hooker 6901s. I installed them originally, and they hit the pitman arm, then I realized that I have my motor mounts reversed, and re installed the headers after correcting the problem. I still have one tube that hits when making a laft turn, pretty hard too. I was wondering if anyone else ran into this while installing the headers. If it make a difference, I have a PS gear box, with the manual steering pitman arm, and a manual steering tie rod. Am I missing something stupid here? Thanks Shaun
My hedmans on my driver hit when turning to the left with manual steering I heated the tube with the torch then put a pipe between the arm and hedder slowly turned the steering into it to put a nice round dimple in the pipe now it turns to the left about 90 percent only lost a little not noticable when driving and I do drive it alot.You might be able to do the same with the hookers.Hope this helped Chris
When I bought my 6901s, someone had already installed them and drove them very little (still had the black paint on them) but they BFHd the area where it hit that arm. I don't think mine would have hit either way, since I have a good 1/2" clearance over there.
