front header pipe/frame clamps

#1

Post by kehughes »

I have searched this site and a couple of others and haven't gotten a great picture of their correct configurations. I think I have it mostly figured out, just not 100%. I know the smaller clamp mounts to the frame down tube while the other mounts to the pipe and then they bolt together . This is for a '50 so I also know that they mount down low on the front header pipe/below the sidecar loops. Can someone post some closeup photos of how these clamps mount? thanks

Wouldn't you know it. I finally found a better picture after posting the question here. Looks like it mounts on frame right behind the brake pedal plate. And the P clamps mount back to back with the bolt head on the pipe side. Here is a simplified "stick" drawing. Look right?
