Modified Headers

I finally got some time to start working on the Black Hole. I noticed a few months back that the left tire got very close to the left header when you turn the car all the way to the left. I have really short tires on the car and may have to run taller ones if the ground clearance is too low. It is very close to being as low as the rules allow and all of the equipment is not on the car yet. I wanted to make sure I have room for taller tires (if needed) so I cut the straight header tube off of the headers and built a dogleg tube to add some clearance.

Here is a before and after picture.

Before- Notice how close it is to the tire

After-Dogleg shape gives me more room for a taller tire
