Re: How to brace a Top mount Manifold on a B series
If you got a welder, why the ---- are you asking us? Find some scrap metal and put some ---- together that holds. I would of would of took 5 minutes to make one, instead you waste a whole ------- day asking how to make one. Who would have a brace design for a top mount
99% of top mount built are all custom and are built totally different from each other.
Make a piece/strip of metal that will bolt/weld on to the manifold and find a place to bolt it up on the block. Make sure the metal isn't too thin. Look at the s2000 turbo kit build on here(it's only a couple of threads down). He built the best brace I have seen on here.

Why are you calling everyone Mr.?
i have a secret for you. Its not really our real names. we just made them up. so you dont really have to stick a Mr. in front of it.
and for your bracing I would storngly suggest using a nice ABS plasitc. Metal would be to rigid and crack your mani. deffinitly nice thick Plastic. Hit up the junkyard for some good Saturn Doors to use.

Re: How to brace a Top mount Manifold on a B series
I agree that suggestions will be easier to make if the OP would post some pics.
Yeah, a top mount is a top mount, but it'd be easier to like, MSPaint some bracing on or whatever with an actual pic.
OP seems a bit on the lazy side though, so I have my doubts about this actually happening.
