Modify the mounts or the frame

you know I have a perfectly good bolt cutter I have no idea why I didn't think of that. You don't need to replace the studs with bolts just run them down tight and cut off the surplus.

Sometimes it just takes a while to change your mind set.

another option to the muffler clamp would be a tower standoff. I used them on both my builds. They mount to the engine and attaches via stainless steel hoseclamp. Haven't had any issues with them so far. I used heat shrink to the bottom, so not to scratch the frame. The standoff is .25", so no worries of flex or warpage.

Looks good to me.

Where can I find a tower standoff I have yet to find anyone who even knows what they are?? I have tried Home Depot Radio Shack Circut City? where can I get one?

a couple of hints when using a standoff... you will have to grind a little off the inside edges to clear the bolts from the engine. Trim the engine bolts about .75" . For the stainless steel clamp, use .5 x 4" heat shrink, it will cover the clamp and protect the frame a little. If you crank too tight on the clamp it will strip.
