Another Hindle Wrinkle

[Tripod]

I recently picked up a used Hindle and stuck it in a cabinet to install at a later date. All of the postings regarding the muffler motivated me to get it out and do a more informed inspection of it. It doesn't have the slots so that can be remedied easily enough. Here's my concern...there seems to be a big descrepency in the pipe diameters and the spring connector is facing the front, where my stock setup has it towards the rear.

Anybody else find their's this way???

I think yours is the first that I've seen posted. It will make it a little difficult to use the spring. :dontknow:

Seems as if QC is a little lacking between the slots and the spring mount. :gaah:

My spring is on the front on the y-pipe but the Hindle has a clip for a spring both front and back.

Mine is the same - there were no slots on the flange & the clamp would not fit. My Hindle is sealed and spring held. I admit it was a #$$## to put on, but it seems to work fine.

Mine is on the back side & Lamonts is on the front (that's kind of weird). I hooked my spring up from the left side of the Spyder. Put the spring on the Hindle then stretched it to connect to the Y pipe. Spyder is not at home so I can't go out and look, but I believe it also has two spring connections on the Hindle. I had no problem getting my clamp to fit, but I do have a leak I can't get to stop. Tried two different kinds of sealer, Permatex being one of them.

Did you cut slots in the Hindle?
