Re: Europa-List: Exhaust Pipe Security

Drill thruogh both the exhaust pipe and the wall of the muffler pipe.  Get a 
small
steel flat topped rivet or pin
drop it through the matched up holes and use the muffler clamp over it to hold
it in. Erich Trombley and I have both done this with nary an issue.

We once actually had it fall off, fortunately just prior to takeoff!  We've
tried hi temp nuts, safety wiring the nut and made a longer nut from steel
rod which is safety wired, but still the pipe gets loose after a few hours.

drilling thru the stub of the muffler and the tailpipe and inserting a self
tapping screw.  Then you are to arrange the screw to be under the circular 
clamp.
Has anyone done this and does it work?
