72T Muffler Shell Hardware

[T….in Wisconsin]

Looking for a picture of original hardware for the muffler side shells. Would like to see what was used to cover the rather large hole the mounting bolt went through and threaded into the cylinder casting.

Attached picture of side shells and hardware that it came with.

I’ve seen these before but didn’t make the connection at the time.

When those are lost people just replaced  with long bolt and washer.My 72t has one of each.

Yep, that’s what mine has. I would prefer to use something close to the original.  Stepped spacer with diameter mating to the shell would IMO would provide better support than a washer.

If you would like to replace it with what was
original you can get rod and one of the home
improvement stores, cut it to length, and thread
the ends. Or you can pick up some all thread,
cut it to length, and nobody will be able to tell
the difference.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
