[replyingto=pmatulew]pmatulew[/replyingto]My JB weld attempt did not hold.
I ended up pulling the motor and rigging it so the broken patch was straight up and I aluminum brazed a new lump to drill and tap.

Here's my new muffler:




I'm getting ready to start on some crazy mods to make this thing not look so ugly.

yeah the muffler bracket bolts. they go into the case. If you need to, just take out one of the gearbox case bolts, and bring it with you. It's the same thread size. you probably need them a little longer.

[replyingto=jeepsteve92xj]jeepsteve92xj[/replyingto]Swing Arm! That's what it's called. Your Photos are great by the way. On the back of the original stock muffler, the swing arm back by the rear tire had a bolt and two little pieces of metal that seemed to be welded to the muffler. Now my new muffler is very secure, however and it's a replacement stock but it doesn't quiet have that. Do I need to find some way to weld a metal strip on?

Take a look. The muffler is on really tight and doesn't have any "play" in it, but only secured by the front two bolts. The previous muffler was also secured on a stud coming out of center tire lug nut.

So that part you called the broken ear in this photo

Is the part I had a bolt snapped off in. I tried to remove it, but ended up just roughly drilling it out with a hand drill last week. I just slide a similar size bolt in there, and put a nut on the end :-D Hope that's fine.
