I Like this idea, but it appears you used custom header bolt spacers to keep the right half of the bracket...
But if you follow JBA's instructions for their headers, they advise to cut like phstratton's picture shows below yours, along the yellow line, and to throw the right side away - which eliminates the need for spacers.
Anyone see any issues with cutting and tossing the RH side of the bracket, which bolts to the front exhaust port?

Edit:
I looked at the instructions again, and I should correct myself - instructions state to cut most of the part of the bracket which mounts to the exhaust port bolts, but it appears you leave half the "fork" for the front bolt, which would still require 1 spacer.
I'm considering cutting about an inch to the left of the dotted line, to eliminate the spacer completely.
Summit advises verbally, after calling a JBA tech, that in updated instructions, (which I didn't receive with the headers), there is no need for a spacer at all, and I assume cutting further to the left is how they accomplish this.
