Bwoody Heat Exchanger brackets

I received my H/E bracketrs today from bwoody. I wasn't to impressed. THere are no directions with the parts and the brackets feel flimsy. THey remind me of wall shelf hangers. THey cost $60 bucks and I don't think They shouldn't be selling them for more than $25 tops. I will give them this they hav

thanks Mike we appreciate them.. I thought hese were pretty straight foward brackets myself. speaking of which i need some for my custom dual pass can ya do it?

I thought the price included you flying down with them in your hands and personally installing them.....

What a great review. Were you expecting something that welded to the frame that you could also use as a front jack point?

I installed the HE and beackets last night. It was pain in the ass. The holes in the bracket where spaced a little to far so I had to make new holes. It is in now and it is solid. So I will retract my statement about them feeling flimsy, but there still overpriced. But, I guess when your the only company making them, and where demanding them you can pretty much charge whatever you want.

quality is never cheap. BWoody makes good stuff, probably the best stuff for our cars...making money is the only way they will stay in business and we definately want that.
