Tail pipe insulator assembly

[jeepdan]

What type of clamp is used at the end of the tail pipe to fasten to the rubber insulator strap?
Is it the "strap" type of clamp found on early jeeps?
Can someone post a picture of this stock detail?

The very end?

My truck did not come with any rubber. It was a clamp that was hard bolted to the bumper.

Yes, I just found a drawing of it in the maintenece manual.
It is a strap clamp around the pipe.

Here is mine, you can see the strap broke and its a little bent, the end of it is still under the bolt in this picture. If this was stock, it did not have any rubber.

I repaired it and sold it to someone else that was looking for one some time ago.

Mine had the rubber piece still intacked but dry rotted.
The NOS one that I just bought from VPW is identical to my old one.
I will post a picture this evening.

Interesting, appears I too have an after-production modification (or they changed production styles over the years). My bracket is bolted to a hole in the frame that would be just left of the edge of the photo above and is just a thick strap that's actually welded to the side of the tailpipe--no pipe clamp or anything like that. No provision for expansion/contraction and no soft gasketing.

I can't tell if the forest service paint extends under the bracket or not because heat has stripped that area of paint.

Sorry--didn't bring the camera to work today.

Here is what it looks like, not much to it.
As can be seen, the original rotten piece is in the middle. The new one is on top, and the original steel bracket is at the bottom.
