im changing out my pipes to another set of Triumph pipes that fit and bolt on the same way. No headers are being changed.
Removing was easy. I hit a snag.
If you've done this there are two bolts toward the rear of the pipe that go from the inside into a mount on the pipe itself. The nuts fit into that mount and can slide to accommodate moving the pipe as needed to slide it etc.
Those nuts fit a slot inside the mount.
My problem has been getting the pipe on the header, then getting the bolts through to the nut that 'floats' in the mount slots.
The bolts have to be screwed in as soon as the pipe is set in place, the problem; the nuts slide or fall out of the slots. There is little chance that the bolt hits the nut exactly as needed.
Any quick tips for something I thought sure was cake? Maybe I'm over thinking.
Thanks
