Listers,

I'm installing a new Bell SS exhaust system on our tri-carb and, of 
course, none of the brackets line up.

Question - Which way was the front mounting bracket originally installed 
on the car - with the bolt flange to the front or to the rear?  The 
drawing in the parts list shows it to the rear.

To the front, the down pipes are too long.  To the rear, the down pipes 
are way too short.

The two mounting bolts on the tail pipe don't line up with the mounting 
brackets either, off by an inch or so.

You got to wonder how often a manufacturer offers the parts up to the 
car to check fit.  FWIW, the floor pan and the outriggers appear to be 
original.

Cheers,

Bob Haskell
