Replaced safety wire with 2-1/8" hook and eye turnbuckle and 1-3/4" S-Hook from local hardware store. Safety wired for added security.?

Performed today the same procedure as you Rizbel, using the same eye turnbuckle..pretty safe and easy!! Thanks for the tip.
As for the sound, it's just want I wanted in the low rpm's...sounds throatier!!!
