65 Barracuda daily driver

My transmission shift cables got melted by the driver's side TTI head pipe. The factory clamp that retains the cable is too close and the cable will get burned. I ended up clamping the cables onto the floorboard after having wrapped them in high-temp silicone sheathing. Even now the clearance is minimal and I will have to keep an eye on things. Not really necessary, but I fabricated driver's side exhaust manifold braces (last photo).

Thank you @dibbons, I'll have to do something like that. I'll also have to find those little exhaust braces.
