Warford Support bracket

Post by South Park Zephyr » Mon Jun 02, 2025 11:22 am

I was able to obtain a Trusko support bracket thinking it would help support the added weight of a Warford transmission.
While poling around I found an old post showing that Trusko also made a Warford support bracket.
My question is, should one shown help, since it supports the drivetrain ant the 4th main, of should I search/ make for the style shown in the old ad?

Thanks,
Scott

Yours appears similar in construction to the Warford accessory with the addition of the "collar" that supports the ball cap - see how it fits in place with the Warford installed or you might drill out for the drain plug & whack off the collar. Anything support is a bonus for holding up the extra weight !

It appears they made both styles
I agree, something is better than nothing. I have a homemade one on my car now, but I want an original style one.
