    Does anyone have a reference pic available of how the frame clamp attaches to the upper part of the expansion chamber? Can't find a restoration pic anywhere or even a pic from a supplier. PO has a dodgy homemade clamp he made. Just trying to make it right. Thanks!

    Husky has been using a similar pipe mount assembly since about 1973. Sometimes with a M8 bolt, others with a M6 as in your case. Post a pic of your current situation.

    This pic is from an 85 Husky owners manual. Looks to me like the pipe is attached to a tab thats welded to the frame. Rubber bushing required.

    Thanks guys! That helped. So after a week or two of research, one magically popped up on ePay to confirm the look. Got one coming.

    Vins:Third pic nailed it.
    Crash: You can see the clamp wrapped around the head tube.

    Thanks again!

    If I remember correctly there was a thin rubber strip that wrapped around the frame under the clamp.
