If anyone else has sticker shock over the $34 price on a strap to hold up
their muffler, consider this:  I had a brand new exhaust strap for a late
loaf sitting around and it was a little big ie too long. It can be cut and
sized to the (84) vanagon muffler easily and then the "T" end welded back
on. The price on a new loaf muffler strap is $7.95 and this is tons better
than using hangers. FWIW. Also thanks to the list over the past few months,
my 84 westy is officially on the road. Runs well, quiet, feels good on the
road.
