I didn't even know they were insulated until I got the wrecked parts truck that had one. Can't you clamp the nekked can and then put the insulation over top of that? Just cut a slice in there to work with the clamp?
Check out my picture of the clamp and the can before I disassembled it. There isn't much left of the can around the clamp. The factory is a two piece that assembles from top to bottom. This is a 2 piece that assembles from the sides... The clamp is one of the parts that is holding the insulation together along with the worm clamp that I put on top just to make sure the top was sealed together. I am positive someone could come up with a better solution, this is just what I did in my driveway in 30 minutes. I like posting stuff like this, because it gives someone else ideas, starts conversations and allows them to be more creative than I am lol...
Edit: Oh.... I see what your saying now!
Yah... ehh... you could... Put the halves up there and start trimming where they contact the back side of the clamp until they seat all the way around...
both ways have their advantages I guess... I get full insulation but lose use of the factory clamp bolt. Trimming it uses the factory clamp but loses a little bit of insulated area... I might have to give that a shot!
It's not the coolest "mod" so I doubt we will have a blown up thread of people getting creative!
