QL muffler brace
 
Does anyone have the measurements for the QL muffler brace?
I would like to make one for my 1650.
Thanks

bump, anyone
 
Or do you just buy them and I don't believe that. Now please help me out, it's going to be very soon time to button this thing up.

When I made mine I just figured it out by trial and error. Don't trim it to the final length or drill the holes until you get the bends correct, and the second hole you drill will probably need to be slotted or oversize.

OK, thanks Matt. I was hoping you would jump in because I thought you wrote something or had a picture, and I was darn sure you would'nt buy one.
I bent one close today out of aluminum, to use as a template, I see where the slotted hole would be helpful.

Where does this brace go???

R Bedell 02-12-2013 02:39 PM

There is a "boss" in the casting of the block, in the front, that is drilled and tapped. IIRC, it is 5/16"-18. Then this bracket goes up to the Q/L Muffler bracket to add support. Works great.

Thank you. Neither the 1210 or the 1450 have that. and that Mounting plate at the engine is damaged on both. I have some more work to do.


That piece across the front of the engine(plate if you will) is just aluminum, right??

I was thinking of making a bracket to go from the two bolts at the top(you can just see them in that pic) extended out over the muffler. Then place a strap around the muffler attached to the brace.
