Early Muffler Brackets

Post by BigAl » Sun Jul 20, 2025 10:33 am

I am in the middle of restoring my 1911 muffler. Are the brackets painted? Black? Or left unfinished? Your expertise is welcomed. AL

Brackets are painted, but will burn off even with high heat paint. The muffler is wrapped with asbestos and secured with 3 straps.
