Tailpipe lamp orientation

Folks, I'm working a bit blind because I haven't been able to find my Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards for several months.

What's the proper orientation of the tailpipe clamp to the frame? See attached.

Thanks.

So just to confirm: mount on top of the frame channel, with the tailpipe cheated upwards, bolt down from the top with the nut on the bottom (which is really the only way you’d get the cotter pin in?

Thanks folks. BTW, I can’t get into the Aries Muffler website, anyone else having that issue? Amuffler.com

You only need to tighten the bolt until the ends of the clap just touch and cheek that you can still move the pipe. If it doesn't move, loosen the bolt until it does. Calling it a clamp can be misleading, calling it a support is a better description of what it does.
