Default Mounting of factory sidepipes on my 69

Hi,
I have a nice set of originale sidepipes to my 69 convertible.
Does anyone have some pictures or a good link, so I can see how to mount the sidepipes?

Thanks,
John

c3_dk,

Sell them to me and you won't have to worry about how they go on!

I am looking for a set in case you change your mind (Hooker sidemounts maybe?)

Making sure you have all the right hardware and brackets is the key, I know Mid America and Ecklers sells the hardware kits with everything needed including the blind nuts that go behind your lower rockers instead of just screws which will probably vibrate out.

PARAGON is also a good source for these items, Willcox probably sells them as well and they are a supporting vendor here. Good luck,

Jeff

He-he Jeff thanks for your "kind" offer
But I think that the shipping cost would be very high from Denmark, Europe to USA
