Mounting the stovepipe

Sep 27, 2004 2 Replies

I was under the Wonderbus this morning, doing an oil change and adjusting valve lash. While I was there I studied how to mount the new-to-me stovepipe that Braukuche graciously donated to the Wonderbus. It looks like I'll need to remove the mustache bar to get that pipe up there.



The end of the stovepipe that protrudes up through the hole in the pulley plate is self-explanatory: it has a tab of metal with a hole that lines up with a hole in the pulley plate. The other end of the stovepipe also has a tab, extending off at an odd angle. I don't see what that end is bolted to.



If anyone has a 71 bus with the original air preheat stovepipe in place, I could use a little help figuring out how it mounts.

It mounts to the right upper exshaust stud you will have to remove the nut . I find a bigger hammer helps get in in...lol

Thanks, Mario. I reckon I'll pull the bumper, the rear apron and the mustache bar, and keep a big ol' hammer handy.
