2) Place the clamps around the clamp seating surface
and tighten, making sure that the clamp screws are
properly positioned as shown in the drawing on the
next page.
The correct orientation of the whiskers relative to
the exhaust main body are as shown in the photo

the screws are snug. The threaded ends of the screws
should be at least flush with the outer edge of the nut
that holds them. Do not overtighten.
