[Roadsters] Header bracket?

[Eric A. Isaacson]

Greetings,
 
The factory manifolds for the 1968 1600 have a bracket on the lower section
of the manifold to mount to the alternator bracket for support as well as a
mounting location for a heat shield to protect the alternator.
 
I have not noticed a header that has this same bracket.  Has anyone added a
bracket to a header for this purpose?  Is it necessary to prevent stress
cracks in the header?  What are the effects, if any, for not having the
lower bracket?
 
Thoughts?
 
Thank you,

Eric Isaacson
