My Obx fuel rail brackets broke off so there is nothing holding the fuel rail besides the injectors. Is there a quick fix to make some sturdy brackets? I know this must happen a lot because those brackets are so chinsy. Right now I have a few pieces of wood hammered in above the fuel rail but I'm sure there must be a better way to do this?
 
Weld it back together, and add some bracing or gusseting. Machine shop can do it cheap.
 
yeah heavy bracing...and get it done quick, because with enough fuel pressure you can push the injecotors out and fuel will leak. (it happend to be back in when I was using the a vortech fmu and had flimsy tabs on my aftermarket custom made fuel rail.)
 
Thanks. Ya the injectors popped out already, so I haven't driven it since the fall when this happened.
