Muffler tie down on WJ Simon Models:

I have received email from Walkerjet recommending that muffler should be tied down to the main frame. Just like any other piece of machinery things can brake and there have been few Simon mufflers on which the holding bracket cracked just above the two bolts fastening the bracket to the engine body - see the red line on picture. Note: None of these resulted in any serious problems as the exhaust muffler port can hold the muffler on its own. Those of you who purchased any of the Walkerjet Simon models should install tie down such as the one I have installed on my Simon RR as a precautionary measure to make sure that if the muffler bracket gives the muffler will not be able to get into the prop.

  • I have purchased a bicycle derailleur cable at Canadian tire for $ 2.99 cut piece long enough to be fed through the muffler mount and through the blue bracket.

  • I have applied some solder to the ends (about half inch)

  • I have fished the cable through the muffler bracket

  • I have bent the soldered ends to allow to bend wire to create two hooks

  • I have hooked the hook ends of the wire into each other and soldered them shut   

All new 2003 models will have this tie down installed.     

Good luck  Andre
