I used some .25" thick rubber washers on all sides, large washers, nylon lock nuts not cinched down too tight. You think this is enough?

The pipes never came with any hardware... I wonder if anything off the old ones are worth using. I'll have to check when I get home. :lol:

The frame comes with the rubber dampeners , all that is need is a spacer or several small around washers between the pipes hangers and the rubber mounts in the frame . When you look close at the mounts it makes more sense . you just want the pipes to be carried in the center section of the mount not touching the frame as they need to be able to wiggle as the engine vibrates in its mounts .
the older i get the faster i was
