[DML] Re: Tail Lights

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

The muffler bracket fails when there is too much strain on it - 
usually caused by the muffler being too loose at the cat. In any 
event the bracket is weak in design and can be reinforced by welding 
a small brace over the outside edge.
