Was wondering if someone would comment on that :-) Had them the same way before, but had trimmed the bolt down after install. I haven’t done that again yet. Thing is, need the full length of the bolts for initial install… the bands then are forced to conform to the non circular path ( muffler and the pins in the mounts). And I hate working the nuts ( nylock) on the bolt with an wrench… used a deep socket and impact gun. Jeeze… long story short… I like the access with socket this way, I’ll trim the bolts, did it that way before and was no problem … Alistair > On Aug 20, 2021, at 10:51 PM, OlRivrRat <OlRivrRat@comcast.net> wrote: > > Well Done in Usual ABell Fashion,,, But I would flip clamps so that Long bolt threads > > get hidden up behind body metal ~ > > > >> On 20 Aug , 2021, at 12:11 PM, Alistair Bell <albell@SHAW.CA> wrote: >> >> Refreshed it recently.
