So today I took out the ring clips in the exhaust that holds in the spark arrestors because I was tired of watching then rust. The idea was to go to the parts store and get one in stainless steel. Went to 3 different ones and they did not carry one big enough. I did see some on Walmart.com, although I can not find what the right size would be. Thought maybe some here has come across this? Here is the address to some I found. http://mobile.walmart.com/m/phoenix...XN1bHQ9dHJ1ZQ::/auto-tires?_refineresult=true
Now that I think about it...after I swapped my arrestors for the strainer type, I have not had any rusting. Wonder if the stock stuff might gave been an odd mix of metallurgy?
It is just raw iron in my case and any time water set in the lip or condensation builds in the exhaust you can see the rust build up. DId you get new rings when you got the strainer type? Not too worried when I get the pcv and auto tune just taking the spark arrestors out but would like to be able to install when I got out in the woods. If I found the right size I could get them in stainless and not worry about the rust lol. Never really looked for one where I needed the exact size and do not have a micrometer to measure in mm
