Ayesully810 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) So I was just going to buy some center mount stingers from mat, but I think I wanna try and do it my self What is the best way to go about turning my regular mounts into center mounts (shearers) , I know I will have to cut and weld some stuff. Never done something like this before but I have all tools needed. Edited March 7, 2018 by Ayesully810 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandSlingerOR Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I want to do this with a set of cascades to. Won't it require cutting one of the silencer mounts off, and remount/weld to be able to be bolted in? Bending the stringers to a bit? I never really looked into, so it may sound stupid lol.

Ayesully810 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 When I mock them up, it just looks like I will have to cut/weld and bend the stinger tubes to re route them to mount on the insides of the frame instead of the outside. if I try and screw up oh well ill spend 160 and buy center mount stingers from mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandSlingerOR Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I was thinking about it earlier silencers can be swapped right? Left can go inside right and right mount inside left? Then just bend accordingly to match pipes? Wish I had a set of pipes to check into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesully810 Posted March 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 yeah they can we swapped. only thing that is modified is the stingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I was able to order straight lengths from Gary maybe matt would do the same. Assuming you have a bender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camatv Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 swap silencers left and right make a mount for them where you want them to sit. get out your tools and skillz and do it. might take a few tries but that the way "custom" stuff is done. trial and error.

I just got longer bolts with lock nuts that go all the way through the frame where they bolt in. Do i need a bender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 most likely the only pipes i have ever just center mounted were FMF SST but i had to make a 2-1 air filter setup and of course move all the rear cdi stuff.. i think i have some shear center mount stingers? its just the tubes.. also think i have a set of tabs JD used to make for mounting..
