Default sidepipe muffler hanger

I bought a sidepipe muffler to frame hanger kit, i.e the bolt and rubber discs that connects the end of the sidepipe to the frame.

But - in the kit there are also some different smaller screws, what are those for???

They look similar in size to the rocker cover screws, but are not "correct" for those either.

Hi j74,
In addition to the muffler hanger, there is also a support rod for the rear of the exhaust cover in that area.
There are 2 holes near the end of the center part of the cover,(one end of the brace, flat head), and one hole in the frame (other end of the brace, hex head).
Regards,
Alan

Are you using factory style side pipes, or the Hooker type ?

If you are using the Hooker type you have the wrong ones.

No it's the factory style.

Alan,
Ok thanks. Since the name of the kit was "muffler to frame" I didn't think they would include the sidepipe cover screws there.
