Baffle hole position

Good Advice, Ed.................I use blue thread-lock and fiber-washers from heat-shield fasteners against the pipe to 'save' the baffles and the new chrome.

That baffle style is usually recessed from the end of the pipe but I don't think the holes were drilled to a precise location.........other than at 3-o'clock.

When you measure the pipe compare the distance of the center to the end to the same with the baffle.
You should find the baffle is a bit into the pipe so the hole doesn't ware through.
You'd be surprised how many baffles came loose then gone!
They rattled the hole closer to the end before they flew out. .................lm

Here are some pics of a used baffle I picked up recently.

The screw is M5 and about 1/4 inch from the end of the baffle. Position on the pipe depends how far in you want the baffle to fit but I do have a NOS pipe to measure if that helps.
