ATS Manifold Install

I put on an ats manifold this weekend and wanted to let ya know what I think. The 3 pieces weren't too bad to get together, I used the oven, freezer method. Bolted on pretty good, the 2 top allen head bolts were kinda a pain, but not undoable. But the bracket to remount the heater hose line, what a joke. There's no way that that will work, not even close unless you want the line to rub on the manifold. I think I'm going to make a new line out of copper to go over the top (maybe under, but further away from...see not rubbing) of the manifold and mount it that way. Anybody else have this problem? What did you do?
