I hear you. Go to a muffler shop, you're going to get a muffler, whether you need it or not. Just keeping my options open- it could take months yet to get in to see someone, so it gives me time to...

I was hoping to reuse the original band, but I have a feeling I may end up needing that information you just supplied. 35 years may be too much to ask of the old stuff. Thanks!

Nice! Thank you John, for that info and positive reinforcement. I feel better about giving it a go now. Another thought I had is that if I find the screwholes are too stripped or soft, I might try...

13' lil bigfoot bellyband leak

I have discovered,to my chagrin, a fair bit of wetness at the front right quarter of my 87 lil bigfoot. I'm pretty certain it is coming from the bellyband, and I probably need to pull it off and at...

Well, mostly. Must have messed up somehow with the reverse lights, as they aren't working, but I'm leaving it for now. Figure I can live without those for awhile.
