Looks like it clamps the whole thing down to the table.
After reading your post and looking at it again, yep part of the clamp.

rather then putting on other exhaust manifolds I had a machinist braze the header together.

I hope it holds.. The machinist said that it was as strong or stronger. hummm

When I originally sleeved the tie rid made it too long. Cut it off and retapped. Had access to right hand tap 7/8 18 thread tap
one more pic
Had to bore out the tie rod end I had the reamer from the original build

being paranoid I decided to beef up the pitman arm. Most likely not neccesary but I couldn't stop

Why the beefy pitman arm if you are going hydro assist?

I fabbed some link mounts a couple of weeks ago and I thought I was clever in outboarding them and integrating them into the body mount

Of course the frame mounts are way too high and I had to lower them. So off they came.

I did not want to put the links directly under the frame all though I should have.
decided to outboard the frame mounts but lower them 5 inches so I had to angle them a bit.
Make shift plazma jig
final cut

Don't laugh about the welds, I can't seem to manage welding on my back because the slag hurts hurts hurts and there is crap for light

Because I am an idiot and often overdue things. After running the reamer the bell looked pretty thin, but the pitman arm is the length I needed. If I would have had a second opinion I wouldnt have done it. It sucks working alone because there is no end to my bad ideas.
I still have lots of trimming to do
