Muffler clamp?
« on: April 19, 2015, 11:55:43 AM »
Hi all -

Is anyone currently supplying this type of clamp for Fox and/or McCoy .35 tongue mufflers?

Thanks.

Hi Terry,

I would love to find a couple of those, too!  Maybe Jim Lee??

Hi Bill -

I'm sure Jim could make similar, but I don't see anything in his list.
I took another look and it won't work on McCoys - exhaust stack is flush w/case, no "lugs" to butt against.
A simple strap will.
Are McCoys as sensitive to case distortion as Foxes?

I also would be interested in a couple if someone produces them.

Best,       DennisT

Terry...Is that your clamp? Can you tell if it's extruded or machined to shape? If it's extruded, maybe it's modified from something like a conduit clamp? Might pay to look at 'lectrical department stuff.  D>K Steve

I wish Steve.  ;D
I found that pic on another post.
It was actually produced by Marvin Denny (Bigiron), CNC machined aluminum.
I'm hoping someone is making a similar item these days - it's ideal for the job.
Maybe we can generate enough interest/demand to entice a source.

Simple attachment crafted from a hose clamp.

Yes, Gordon, hose clamps can certainly do the job.
The nice thing about Marvin's design is that it clamps on the exhaust stack bosses rather than around/on the thin bypass wall.
It doesn't cause the distortion possible with most other attachment methods.
Also looks neat, very professional.  :)

If you search 'muffler clamps' on this site there are a couple of interesting options, including a clamp less attachment.

I got hold of several of these some time ago from Jan Holzco (Jan5721@comcast.net) or Welderr @ yahoo . com. At that time he stated he had several pieces and he was going to sell out. Don't know where it went from there. FWIW mine appear to be machined...
