Bracket modification for Tall Valve covers.

Attached is a photo of the power steering bracket modification I had to make for my 65 Cutlass Holiday Coupe. I had to do this because I wanted to use the PS bracket from the original car and keep the car "period correct" and not destroy the bracket for use on the original 330 motor; just because. Nor did I want to remove anymore metal than needed and have the modification work, be strong and fit in with the sculpting of the other brackets. I needed the tall valve covers because of the roller rockers. I fabricated the "link" piece between the two bracket parts for extra support. Maybe this really wasn't needed but the bracket was originally one piece, so for originality purposes I added the link. Everything lines up and the engine is fine.
