Sprint muffler attachment point

PostPost by: gjz30075 » Tue Jul 06, 2021 11:05 pm

I was wondering if anyone with a Sprint, with the Sprint muffler / silencer, can provide me with
exactly, or near exact, factory location, with dimensions, of the rear attachment point? Maybe using
the bottom of the bumper as a reference, or......

Mine is about 5 inches from the bumper lip to the hole center of the first bolt. Or 13 cm for the imperally challenged.

Just in case you need reassurance, the same measurement on my Sprint is just over 5.5 inches.

I appreciate that. Holes already drilled, so thanks for the reassurance. :D

I am about to mount the Sprint Muffler to my 1969 Sprint. ... Great info on the rear mount.

Any info on the front mount would be very helpful as I want to get the exhaust system in before I get the car painted.
I want to have the muffler mounted before I take it to the muffler shop to have them make my tail pipe.

PS I don't have any of the original holes as I have repaired the GRP in all those areas.

Jaman, here's a picture of the forward mount of a Sprint muffler (not mine). The angled bracket and
rubber mounts are reproduced.

Mmmm, "1969", are you sure ?
I suspect "trw99" might have something to say about that. :)

Hi RB53 ... Please explain ?

My car is 1969 S4 FED That has been converted by previous owner to Sprint Engine spec and I am restoring with Sprint parts.

Hope that is OK?
