Thanks Jim! What holds the muff in place around the exhaust pipe? The clamp?
I'm also intrigued by your comment about the cabin heat box. Can you provide
a description of it as well? I'd also like to see some photos if and when
they happen.
The winters in Illinois are not as severe as Wisconsin, but it still gets a
bit on the cool side.
Thanks to all for the ideas.
Bill

The hose clamp that is riveted to the small end. The funnel opens up to put
over the exhaust pipe and a few screws to close up. Mine takes in two pipes
as they both exit the same side and this fastens on as near the firewall as
you can.
The heat bos is 3" wide, 6" long and 1" deep. and closed at one end. It has
a 3/4" flange bent out on each side of the 6" base. 2" inlet on the front
and back, straight thru when the slider is pulled open. The slider has the
the end bent up to close the box when it is pulled past the 2" inlet.
I will have to read the instructions on my camera so I can post pictures, it
is hard to describe how this thing works. Jim C

good idea Jim... I just happen to have it on the shelf today and can
easily take some pictures. I'll try to have em on the list by tomorrow.
The valve itself won't have a picture until I take the cowl off on
Sunday..
I will try to locate some other pics in the meantime in my system.
Maybe I already have the details...

Dear Listers,
Wow, Wednesday was a great day with lots of Listers getting online and
making their contributions!! Thanks to a number of you that jumped up to
carry the flag and rally support for the cause! Your efforts are much
appreciated and best of all - very effective!
Normally I post two "What Lister's Are Saying" messages during the Fund
Raiser, but this year, so many people have been expressing their pleasure
and satisfaction with the Lists that I have more than enough to post a
third WLAS!
Guys, I really appreciate your nice comments. It warms my heart to hear
how much the Lists mean to you and how much you enjoy them. Your feedback
and support make it all worth it!
Please read some of the awesome comments List members just like you have
made along with their List Contributions this year. There's just a couple
more days left for this year's List Fund Raiser. Won't you make a
Contribution to support the continued Operation and Upgrade of the email
forums sponsored here?
