In the bottom photo you posted, could you do some trimming on the far left bottom and tig and ear on there, to hit that bolt hole on the stand, on the manifold?
I was just going to trim that post down, the cast bracket is bolted to the front of the engine. Thinking of making a bracket to go from the thermostat bolts to
bottom of a/c compressor if I cut the corner off the factory one.
