as you can see i got two self tapping screws. they just keep backing out, and i lost one.
so anyone got any ideas? welding wont work right? steel pipe with an aluminum spark arrestor.
maybe steel jacketed rivets. any help would be cool

The one that was on my fl350 w/DG pipe just had a large hose clamp around it. It always stayed in place and never had any issues |

I hate them sparky spark arrestors they can be a pain in the ass, first I sealed mine with black silicone sealer then put the screws in and tighten them snugly then take a large hose clamp and put it around and over the top of the sheet metal screws so they cant back out. You can use 3/16 pop rivets but vibration will get to them sooner or later and make them vibrate loose too. |
