Intake support bracket/dipstick on 302ci headers question

What are you guys doing that have aftermarket headers doing with the intake support bracket and the oil dipstick? Are you attaching to the header bolt or leaving it as is dangling freely or fabbing your own bracket? Would it be bad to let the intake not be supported? I know this can't happen with the dipstick or it will get invertingly pulled out everytime the oils checked. Thanks.

I bent mine to fit on the header bolt. Be careful if you do because if you dont bend it right you may pinch the lip of the valve cover which could lead to leak. Esp on the intake support.
