Finally yanks the wheels up !
I have Hooker fenderwells and yes they broke off at the flange right under the Master Cylinder, right in the middle of a bracket race and I was winning some rounds dammit. Took em off and to a buddy to mig weld the pipes inside and outside both sides. They are made in Mexico and they use as little wire as possible to weld em. I also put a brace on both collectors and bolted it straight up thru the floor to help support em and the ends, no problems since.
