Dan Stewart 8 #1 Posted April 13, 2015 I am looking for suggestions for installing a brace for supporting a heavier vertical muffler and rain cap on my '66 W.H. 606/656. I have items but before installing I have concern of vibration/ weight of unit. Photos, if you have, would be easier than explaining. Thanks for any feedback.

rmaynard 14,951 #2 Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) I do not use a vertical stack on any of mine, but if I did and needed to support it, I would remove a couple of head bolts and replace them with studs, like those used to support the generator. Then I would make a heavy-duty bracket with clamp to support the pipe. Although thinking about it, the hood would interfere. In that case scratch my idea. I guess that's why Wheel Horse never made a vertical pipe muffler. Edited April 13, 2015 by rmaynard 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimD 3,345 #4 Posted April 13, 2015 Am I missing something? Is there something not shown in the pic that's tied to the frame or engine block to stabilize the vertical pipe from the clamps where vibration would be the highest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MalMac 1,328 #5 Posted April 13, 2015 Looks like there is a brace from the block to the first clamp. Nicely done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Stewart 8 #7 Posted April 14, 2015 Thank you. You have given me ideas and I have some stock to shape a similarity. I have a Honda clone 13hp. from HF. A few twists and it will work. I hope! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
