       Glen, if you were to use the <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/stebro.htm">STEBRO/Vanagon Stainless Steel Muffler</A> 
{http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/stebro.htm} you would never again need those 
brackets nor another muffler.  Our muffler comes with its own stainless steel 
brackets and there are many using it successfully on the Tiico engine 
conversion. The muffler is shipped with two brackets which you weld to the 
muffler in the proper location for your install.  the reason behind this is 
there are a few different methods of mounting the muffler which requires the 
brackets to be in a different location.  We could not keep track of all these 
circumstances and have decided it is better to ship the brackets loose and 
have the installer weld them in the location of his choosing.  5% List member 
discount, you must ask for it when ordering.
