R&D Lord mount and mounting bracket

[junkyjs550]

So I have and old school R&D pipe for my SUPERJET but it's missing the Lord mount and mounting bracket that goes from the manifold to the head pipe does anyone have one or know where I can get one? Please help! Anything will help! Thanks

I have no idea I got the pipe with a motor for 500 bucks and haven't ran it yet. It has 10 million jets and it's massive. Can u post a pic of the bracket please? Thanks for your help! I'm lost with this pipe haha

If it's the r&d dry pipe I would recommend not using that bracket/lord mount. Let the pipe float attached just via the front and rear couplers and it will be much less prone to cracking

It's not a dry pipe but it's a jacketed manifold I think. It's got like 3 sprayers on the head pipe and it's massive. Can I text u some pictures so u have a better idea?

Would you be willing to sell it Mr. Buzzard?

R&d made a wet pipe and a dry pipe with nearly identical chambers (on the exterior). With the one you have I would not use the Lord mount and just float the pipe between the he couplers

Did u see the pics? The guy I bought it from said to just stick a piece of turf on the head so it doesn't scratch it up and leave the mount out

The guy is correct, but imo it looks cleaner to glue a piece of turf to the chamber itself so it doesn't vibrate and wear a hole in itself

Good idea that's what I will do thanks again fellas!

Good info. What would you recommend for the hose to waterbox? Stock hose cut to fit?

Trimmed oem hose is what I used, worked perfect

Use silicone elbows and a short run of aluminum tubing. You'll want it somewhat rigid. Don't cut the stock hose. It will work but they're stupid expensive to replace.

Cool I thought of that. Two 2.25" 45* bends and aluminum pipe joiner
