RE: [Chrysler300] ram exhaust manifold supports - reply

["John Mc Adams" <clafong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim and all:

Be sure that your exhaust manifolds have the cast bosses on the bottom to
accept the bolts from these brackets.  Both of my sets are missing one or
both of them - I guess someone ground them off for some reason in the past.
I suppose one could braze another boss onto the manifold but whenever you
braze cast iron you take a chance on developing cracks or something worse.
