Bj sliders to clear vacum can

[kling-on]

Ok I searched but no luck. I want to know what everyone's done to have sliders and protection for the can and clearance for it

Ditto.

Also the exhaust on the other side. I don't like the sliders that mount to the body like Man-a-fre's, personally. I've been watching for an awesome frame-mounted design for some time.

Move the canister under the hood like on the 60+ series.

Nothing in the rule book says that the mounts have to go directly to the frame in a straight line.

Had a similar problem with clearance around the cats on my 62. I just went around the offending cat with the tubing. Worked great. Sorry I can't find the pic

But American Psycho may have the better solution

Obviously. But also things hanging below the slider don't help it "slide"... straight is better, if possible.

But even with my wagon I find my sliders are mostly working the sides of them rather than the bottom. Very rarely have I dragged the frame or the slider mount tubes and even got through Rubicon without a new scratch on a brand new skidplate but the outer tubes of my sliders were another story. Even managed to bend one of them. Would think a 40 would rub the bottom even less than me...

And some people get through without sliders at all... its not only a question of what works for one person, its about what is best. I maintain that the optimal slider is one where the slider is the lowest point.

I re-routed my exhaust to run inside the frame rail and then it was a nice straight shot to mount sliders directly to the frame.

Exhaust is easy ... The vacum can and sedimenter are in the way and hanging low

The '42 vaccuum can is quite large; a 60 series vacuum can is quite small and I believe located in the engine compartment.

I have a small Racor mounted in the same factory sediment bracket; doesn't hang below the frame rail. The vacuum can is visible forward of the Racor filter. It's about the size of two loafs of bread.

Rob is correct, the vacuum can on my 60 is not much bigger than a 1lb can of grease mounted on the firewall...

And then the 70 version is half that size again.

Sorry, no. My truck is in Canada to get a frame off restore by Crushers. Hopefully when he starts hill start a thread on it and you'll be able to see pics then but I didn't take any photos when I did it.
