IS IT REAL OR IS IT REPRO?

What is with the studs sticking out ?

If it had the self tapping bolts to mount the plate and hanger to the frame, It would be hard to tell from original unless you check the thickness of the plate. I decided to have the studs tack welded to the holes in the plate. I was not sure which route to take on it. I guess wannabes making a clone would not notice and you could still mount the hanger. If i seen this exhaust plate w/ studs on a car, i would question it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif[/img]

Leo,
No offense intended, just paying attention to what is going on in this hobby, really not different than any other part replaced during a restoration, but it is another part guys can use to fake a car, the idea here is to make sure everyone in this hobby, like the new guys, know that this stuff is available so they wont base a decision on a car because it has a part that was not believed to be reproduced. The fact that some one uses one of these parts on a genuine car does not intend to mean their car is anything but genuine. Yours looks like a better quality then the ones available on the web site. Didnt mean no offense.
Thanks,
