Could anyone post either a picture or a drawing with dimensions for the heat shield over the muffler and the front muffler hanger bracket for a late, straight exhaust type +2? I need to fabricate them.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Here's some pics with rough dimensions.
The heat shield is basically formed to fit the space allotted in the body. It's three layers: Aluminum- Fiberglass (I'm not going to say asbestos or the NSA will have a Hazmat team in my garage in no time) - Aluminum. Pop riveted together and held in place with 1/4-28 bolts. If you need the hole spacing I can get that for you but it's probably better to drill it to match the holes in the body.
The muffler hanger is just 1/8" steel strap. The rubber insulator bobbins are about an inch tall and 1-1/2" in dia. The piece with the holes for the bobbins is 2" wide 5-1/4" long and rounded on both ends to match the bobbins. The other piece is 1-1/2" wide and a little over 4" long. It gets welded to both the tail pipe and the edge of the muffler. It's hard to see in the pics but it runs under the other piece and they are welded together. I just noticed that I didn't get the distance between the bolt holes for the bobbins. You should be able to take that from the holes in the body but if you can't I'll get out the ladder and go up and measure it again.
Let me know if you need any other info.

A drop in the bucket compared to the help I've received. Besides, I needed a break from the fiberglass dust.
