Question Stainless braided strap...
anybody know where I can find one? I need something to restrain my radiator from leaning towards the engine and pushing all my hoses into my belts essentially cutting them in half... I put this Volant intake on the car and it doesn't support my Be Cool radiator correctly so I've gotta figure out a way to restrain it towards the front of the car...

something like this... but longer of course...



and please... save the, "get a new intake" comments... I've already forked out for this intake and don't plan on getting rid of it...

steel should be under $12 so i wouldn't pay $94 for the same thing.
