JUST KIDDING! Here are the pictures: That guy was not much better a welder than I am! Bigger picture: The weld and the HD clamp sealed things up nice and tight. Here is the finished product: I am very pleased with the way this turned out.

To borrow a phrase: Crappity Smack! Angry

The HD bolt I used to attach the muffler to the bracket was longer than the Suzuki one. The result is a nasty ryb against my tire. I had checked that thing more than once, I thought, but today I noticed the rubbed place.

My tire is about wore out anyway, so it is not that big a deal. But take a word from the wise, make sure the bolts do not rub the tire. And keep on checking.

OK, my inital panic attack is over.

I saw the gouge on my tire yesterday when I was in town and realized what was happening. My first paniced thought was, "I am not going to makeit home." But then I decided to just go and be careful, obviously I made it. I then took a side grinder to the offending bolt, that will show him!

This morning I went out and really looked at the gouge and it does not look so bad in the morning light. Maybe it is not so much a gouge as a very polished strip around the edge of the tire. There is a little of the rubber gone, but really not that much. I feel much better about the tire, but am still going to go ahead and get one sooner rather than later. I am checking prices and installation around here now.

I am still loving the pipe! Cheesy

I measured the depth of the gouge with this:

And there was really no diference, the way I measured it. I tried a couple of ways, to see if there was a difference, but didn't find any.

By the way, does anyone know what that thing really is? It belonged to my father in law, says "No. 513 Pratt & Whitney Made in USA" and is marked with many measurements. You screw the handle down and a rod comes out the bottom, to measure depth I guess. He had ALOT of tools that I have no idea what they are. Huh

That's the function it serves though, only instead of being a "C" shape to measure outside dim., it's set up to measure depth.

Precher, I think that is a supermicrometer. My father-in-law was a tool and die maker and had a huge box of T&D tools. When he died I got a small Starret "C" micrometer. I told his widow that his tools were very valuable and some young guy starting out would kill to get such a set. Her cousin who worked at the same plant sold them for her.

I do know that it is no longer made, because everyone has gone Digital with their readouts. No longer have to have perfect eyes to read measurements. Boofer

That's a depth micrometer
micrometer is a term applied to many measuring instruments with those type of markings.
The knob at the top more or less spins with a little friction. This allows someone without the correct feel to make accurate measurements as the big knob is direct drive and a doofus could get any measurement he wanted.
The tip can have various shapes depending on use
Pratt & whitney is a big aircraft company now, but there were many mfr's of these kinds of tools, wouldn't doubt that's how P&W got it's start.
