[Found!] 273 Exhaust Manifold to Engine Braces

I need both of these braces (pics shamelessly stolen)

Part # 2465161 and 2465162

So THATS what that other hole is for?

I “might” have an extra that I “think” is a long one. Will check later this morning

I checked and all I have is just 1 pair - sorry I couldn’t help.

Don, can you measure the center to center length on the "short" brace?
I want to make a set.
I have a long one.
Thank you.

I've thought about that myself. If you can share the measurements, that would be fantastic.

It looks like just some tubing that's squeezed down on the ends. Should be simple.

OD of the tubing would be good also.

Yep those are for the braces...

I do have a pic of one of the braces. I believe this is the one that mounts to the lower hole on the manifold. If I were to make an edumacated guess based on scaling it off the bolt hole size, I'say it's 1/2" or 5/8".

I think I have a long one also.
Tubing is .60 dia. ~ 5/8 inch.
Round hole is 7/16.
Slotted hole is .63 long.
Length is 5 1/2 inch long end to end.

That's the short one?

With the bends in mine and looking at the picture I would say long, the bottom one. The bends are quite different.
