1982 federal had a strap on the passenger side end of the cross-over
tube, a strap which goes around the circumference of the muffler,
holding it firm to the crossover tube at a point near the attachment of
the crossover tube to the extractor/heat exchanger.

If you need a pic, I can send one.

Hello,
Wondering if there is supposed to be a clamp holding the muffler to the
bracket.................My "complete" unit from Bus Depot did not have
one and was wondering if it was omitted before I call..............
