If anyone has pulled out the airbox, have you used some kind of bracket to support the carbs?

Do a search on 'ghetto freak'. The pics show a good carb brace.

I used a turnbuckle and "p" clamps. All SS from a sailing marine shop. Looked great/ worked perfect.

Brent sells them for just a couple bucks, too.

I had a FREAK kit from brent that had a carb brace built in. I later went the shiny way and cut said bracket off and used the stainless peice above.
