[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.

[replyingto=salracer]sailracer[/replyingto]You mean 10mm (m10) for those two bolts in the back right? Not my exhaust studs? I did put m8 in the bottom one (it screwed tight) and m8 up top as a "loose" bolt through it with a nut on the end.

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.  |

I would try to clamp a spacer between the bracket and swing arm - I cant see your pictures here at work.
spacer = a couple nuts, washers, a short pipe nipple. Thick nylon would probably work, but metal will hold up longer.
Do not ride with only the exhaust bolted to the head. You'll just break more stuff.

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. |

[replyingto=pmatulew]pmatulew[/replyingto]The JB Weld on exhaust studs held for about 40 miles. Then it got loud. Stud fell out, so I ended up reading elsewhere on the internet from a guy who said his broke on a long trip. He went to hardware store got a similar sized American bolt, that was course thread and screwed it up there tight. This worked like a charm. Though I'm guess I'm going to have to thread them both 8mm later this week if I want to put my new "performance" gaskets up there.

[replyingto=jeepsteve92xj]jeepsteve92xj[/replyingto]Your fix was hardcore. That's the motor right, not the head? So if that broke I'd have to buy a new motor hehe
