Thread: Securing Header Baffles

Tweet

To late I know but just to add, if I were doing that I would have drilled one hole on the underside of the header. Through the ring and pop rivet 3/16 - 1/4 steel, the baffle in place no tabs needed totally hidden. After all you are just keeping the baffle from blowing out on the road.

Yeah, I agree but that's how my first ones were secured other than with a button head bolt vs rivets so they could be removed (hole is still there, waiting to be welded up next time they're off). Problem is that the old ones were a thinner material and they warped from only one attachment point, and once warped they rattled. The guy at CC told me you always need at least two point attachment, and three's better, and in my experience you definitely want to be able to R&R them as the glass packing burns out quicker than you'd think... I'll try this for a while and see how I like them.
