Header Damage

I was wondering what the best solution to the header getting bent and crushed on the savage is. I read some where that people used some fuel tube on the chassis plate just under the header to solve the problem. Are the any other solutions?

The fuel tubing placed there will solve the problem of the bottom of the header getting dented, but i also get a dent on the top of the header as well. I assume its from the shock tower or the shocks themselves.

alloy has zero flex. So instead of putting a dint in a $14 header you are going to bend a $50 shock tower
There has to be flex in the system somewhere to absorb the knocks
i have alloy towers and i havnt had any probblems with bending and that . but maybe that because i dont do any 15ft high jumping
. but each to there own

LOL at one stage I had an alloy tower on the rear, it lasted 1 jump
but then again i dont really drive my savy I only jump these days so theres my problem,. I will never break a plastic tower
yeah see , i mainly try to keep my truck below the radar screen and not in it
. if i have any trouble ill just change them back . but then that will take some bling away from it
