Folks, after many moons of  futzing around trying to get my guys at LEV-FAB
to make a muffler bracket for  the 1.9 mufflers I FINALLY have one ready for
sale that works.  It can  be used to replace the OEM 1.9 muffler bracket which
is now obsolete.  This  new bracket and strap assembly is a one piece part that
replaces the original  bracket and strap.  Go to my _Vanagon Stainless Steel
Exhaust  Systems_ (http://frankcondelli.com/exhaust.htm)  webpage to see
photos and pricing.  Hope this helps  those who have been having a hard time trying
to Mickey Mouse some other  alternative.  I will soon have a stainless steel
1.9, 5" diameter muffler  similar to the ones LEV-FAB is making for the 2.1s
that will fit on the  1.9 waterboxers also.

Please note  that I will be away from my business travelling in Mexico from
November 24, 2008  until April 30, 2009.  Parts orders will be processed
although not as  quickly as usual.  I will always be available for contact by
E-mail.  If you phone your call will be addressed by Greg T. Brown here and he will
either call you back or advise you to contact me directly by E-mail.  Details
of this adventure are at _Buses in Bacalar_
