Default Exhaust Mounting?

Hi all,

I got a motorcycle end can today, and I'm trying to figure out how to attach it to the chassis.
Does anyone have any ideas, or pics of how they done theirs?

Ta,

A exhaust bobbin is mounted centraly in the valley of the pressed part of the clamp and the protruding thread removed.

The bottom of the bobbin fits into the flat strip that attaches to the chsssis.

Solid enough.

Ah ha. I was about to start a very similar thread.

How is that flat strip attached? Does something need welding into the chassis rails at an early stage - or is it another rivnut job (seems like kit cars are mainly made of rivnuts!!)

That exhaust looks very nice by the way!

the flat strip is bolted to the floot, you can see the bolts.
