Default Lg pros and bell housing brackets

I am going to be ordering some lg pros with my tax return and i have a install question. I have seen a few post about the brackets not matching up to the bell housing. Did you use your brackets, mod them, or just not use them? Thanks

A lot of people don't run them. They seem to be a place that breaks and they are really not necessary.

we've had some experience with the brackets actually tearing holes in the headers, i wouldn't worry about them not lining up.

Man, first off, I think the PRO's rock. I had two sets on my car(s)... and installed others as well on other cars. I 99% of the time, have a small issue, with where they line up. What I would do is simply notch out one of the corners on the header bracket(like a C ).. so you can atleast catch a part of it with the head of the bolt.

No big deal,..never had any issues of any kind doing that. Do what you gotta do to get her done... it's well worth it.
