The pictures are a little hard to make out, but I see two possible problems:

1.) The metal arm that hold the felt pad might be a different style where the mounting screw went on top of the adjusting rod, -- OR --

2.) It may be as easy as bending the felt arm towards the shell a little. It does look like the felt is tipped inwards.

My kit:
Ludwig Vistalite Big Beat set consisting of:
14” X 22” bass, 16” X 16” floor tom, 8” X 12” ride tom, 9” X 13” ride tom, 5” X 14” snare
Ludwig 201 Speed King bass drum pedal
Ludwig 1124 Spur-lok hit-hat with Ludwig Standard Paiste 14” cymbals (760 & 770 gr) with ching-ring
Two Ludwig Standard S-270 cymbals stands
18” Zildjian crash cymbal (1550 gr) and 20” Zildjian ride cymbal (2130 gr) with CAMCO sizzler
Gibraltar motorcycle seat-style drum throne with backrest

arghhh...... yep that was it... i was so hung up with the mufflers being original to the kit, that i didn't consider....

i tried a different muffler from a supra i had around, and yes, that does fit...

so now i just gotta get a replacement for the supra... hehe. thanks man!
