Fred,
From;ctonline@webtv.net Vanagon@yahoogroups.com, Syncro@yahoogroups.com, Vanagon-Westfalia@Yahoogroups.com, VWVans@Yahoogroups.com, vwvanfulltimers@yahoogroups.com, WetWesties@yahoogroups.com Subject: Two items of interest--- Hey all-- In my quest for the betterment of my Westy--I have produced two more essential items, which are overbuilt as well as long lasting, and heavy duty. It's time for me to do a muffler change--and when I got the replacement muffter clamps / bands--I found that the "Made in Mexico" units are nothing to write home about---cheap, lame, and for sure not made for the long haul. They look as though they would rot out in a short period of time-- So I took it upon myself to produce a 1/8th inch steel strap--to the exact dimentions of the orignal---mig welded the hanging pin on the top, formed the right angle, and drilled on the bottom to mount it----and it works better than I could ever possibly imagine---bullet proof. These will be intact when the body rots off the Van--- I'll custom make these to order--- I don't want to mass produce them , and wind up warehousing 30 sets of muffler hanger's-- I have also made heavy duty front accessory foglamp / running lamp brackets-- They bolt to the bumper reinforcement--and also are made ot of 1/8th " strap steel-- Now you can get these within the continental US for a resonable price--and save a couple of bucks on the shipping as well--rather than waiting for Sgt. Preston to ship them on the second Tuesday of next week from north of the border --maybe. These will be on a made to order basis as well-- Drop me a line---for more details-- Thanks, ______________ |[ ] [ ] [ ]\ | | | | ~~~ ~||-(())----(())-| Terry-- "Zoom, Zoom, Zoom" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://community.webtv.net/CTONLINE/terryshighonlifepage |
