Thinking about pop riveting some mounting brackets onto my yoshi slipon instead of using the mounting strap (which I haven't got yet, Mladins closed til July). Won't be welding it on, because I guarantee I would blow a hole in it.

Can anyone see any problems with doing this?

thanks

Use the strap dude

Wardy I might have a strip of SS you can use to make a strap, thats what we did on a friends bike.

I've got some stainless lying around so I have another stupid question for ya. Do I need the rubber to go under the strap. If yes where can I get some from. I wouldn't usually care but it's a new and shiny.

i can get some 1mm or 3mm rubber sheet from work if ya want i will get some for ya and gie it to yar

Warning !!!!
if the rubber is thicker than 1mm you will squash and dent your can when you tighten the strap !!!! It needs to be super thin !!!! (I speak from experience !

Also, I dont think the sleeve will be strong enoght to support the rivet mount in the middle of the pipe either..

Thanks guys. Will see what I can find over the weekend and get back to you if I still need the strap or rubber.

Well I've bodgied it up to get me through until Mladins open in July. Used some exhaust heat wrap to protect can and then used some stainless steel zip ties.

Hasn't melted the one on my track bike yet.

pushbike tube is a bit thin......MX bike tube is better. I reckon the pushie tube rubber would melt on a long road ride, but is fine for short blasts on the track....
