I was wondering how best to attach vetus wet exhaust and elbo components in my engine compartment and bilge area. Only a couple of small insignificant looking screw holes are apparent. I saw that Tim used what looked like some sort of bronze strapping on his "Equinox" rebuild. Any ideas or suggestions ?

Re: best way to fasten exhaust components
I attached the Vetus into my old Morgan 27 by applying pats of reinforced epoxy with lengths of threaded stainless rod (might have been bolts) stuck into 'em. Might have installed bolts and nuts into the holes in the Vetus and smooshed 'em into the waiting epoxy. The bolt head would be embedded along with a length of bolt. Been about 10 years since I did it.
