I got my Hose (74") from John Bizal (Only one that would sell a piece long enough), he also carries the tail pipe extension for the exhaust; I got the mounting tube from Brent Mullins; and got lucky enough to find the hardware (Nuts, bots, and brackets) on ebay...

There are some folks willing to sell you the complete kit, but they are asking over $200 for it... shop around and you can find it cheaper... if you buy the pieces parts...

Hope this helps...

Hal, do you have a diagram showing where the mounting brackets go?

Ken,

The support rod mounts to a 5/16 nut welded to the tub on the passenger side, there is a half round clamp that also holds it on...

There is a U shaped bracket that mounts to the fender and there are three sets of brackets that when assembled look like a figure 8 small end clamps on the support bracket and large end supports the hose... these brackets are spaced one at top, one at bottom near fender las t in the middle...

These are the mounts for the front, the rear exhaust has an L shaped bracket with a hinged loop in it to hold the tail pipe and the tail pipe is supposed to sit vertical straight up and down no tilt...

If youy need dimensions give me a week, leave for Jefferson City Friday morning and will not be able to get them till I get back...

Hope this helps...

I'm in no hurry. I have the brackets and the support pipe only. I was thanking that a bracket was screwed to windshield frame near the top end to help stablize the support rod/pipe. I believe what I need is the place in the rear corner where the exhaust pipe bracket attaches.
