Auto-lite heater

[Georgew48]

Anybody know where I can get a pair of the mounting clamps that hold the auto-lite heater to the manifold. I currently have it mounted with large screw type hose clamps wraped around the manifold and heater body. It works but looks tacky. The originals just go sround the manifold and have a bolt that comes up through the heater body and are held on with two acorn nuts.

Cant you use bolts? Or do you have a heater that is designed for a different type of manifold?

I think it was made for the waffel type manifold but works on my stock manifold. My manifold dosen't have the bolts attached to it. I saw a picture of one mounted to a regular manifold and it looked like they had a clamp that went around the manifold with a bolt that went up through the center of the heater where the bolt holes are located. I think I can make something like I want but was wondering if there is something already avaliable.

i believe what you saw with the clamp on bolts may have been a fabricated piece.

That's kinda what I thought. I will get to work on making a set.
