ok, so looks like the strips are in excellent condition, i straightened them up and cleaned them up a little bit. they fit nicely on the Radiator Splash Apron. 

I was thinking of a way to make me some clips/ hardware for mounting. 

This is what I came up with... Let me know what you think

Started off with a Standard #10 Washer, it actually fits really nice in the spaces where the t-bolts slid in. and you can slide them around freely in the track. my concern was not really enough surface area to HOLD them down when tightened. so i ordered a bag of #10 Fender Washers.

Measured the width of the Track.Took my File and Flattened two sides of the Washer. Tweaked it to fit freely with some play for chrome plating thickness.

Took My Countersink and drilled the washer to fit a #10 Slotted Flat Head Screw Flush with the top surface.

Yeah it does NOT look like it sits flat due to the angle, but it does

These fit really Nice in the Track and I can slip them in the groove, and slide them into place. made a few to test and they work Great. Had a issue with the screw spinning freely when trying to tighten them up, so think i will have my friend tack the flat head screw to the washer. Then i can grind it down so it fits.

Think this will work fine for my application and hold the strips tightly in place.

Was off on Tuesday so picked up my hardware i ordered to install the Exhaust system on my 1929.

Started installation of the hangers & Brackets hoping to make it easier to install and secure.

shadows make it look like there is a red tint, most likely from the flash...

Should Muffler Be SNUG in the Strapping ?? Flush up against Bracket on Frame and Strap Holding it Tight ??
