1951 8BA road draft tube

[51shoeboxer]

Is the 1951 8BA road draft tube just a slip fit into the intake manifold? I would like to remove mine, repaint it, and reinstall it. Thanks.

There are bolts and clamps involved...

Yes, slip fit at the intake. Spray it with your favorite penetrant and tap it back and forth / up and down till it loosens up. A good hard tug while you’re tapping it will help. …….Mark

Don't use a metal hammer or you will dent it.

Sorry for intruding, I do have a Wanted Ad placed, but these pics are so good,...I need the lower clamp for this tube for my '51 if anyone has an extra. Thank you.
