i've done at least 20 that i can remember. just rebuilt my computer so i dont have my data transfered yet but when i do, ill do a write up with photos.
the easy way out is more work and complications later so resist that temptation. once the firewall rips, all 3 attachment points require correction. the tube has migrated and also needs to be in the right position prior to any welding i go in thru the belly to fix the center bracket because it hangs from teh roof of the tunnel as seen in pylothyer's photo the non welded clamp will work fine untill your on the 405 at 5pm on a friday in the #3 lane with a cement trunk behind you. ps. please dont braze it |

ps. please dont braze it But brazing is the correction solution -- if it's done right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
