Which exhaust mount? The top one above the head that holds the rubber absorber?

Since it's apart look over everything very carefully. When I tore mine down I found 5 cracks in the frame. I welded them all up and decided my 88 frame was in nicer shape. Plan on building another engine for the 93 frame though. Make it my dedicated ice racer. Need to re-thread 98% of the bolt holes as they either have a broken bolt in them or the threads are striped.
It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

Ya I ma going to wait until its completely sandblasted then I am going to go over it completely. I am also going to go through every bolt hole with a pipe cleaner so that loctite will actually work now.
