[whitewolf]

Anybody got any pics of the rear end?? ;-)

Mine came a bit odd home made style hanger and has failed. easily temp fix with a tie-wrap bit lookin for an original proper fix.

Cheers

This is what I've got.....



Between the black bracket and the strip going across with the U clamps on are two "Mini" exhaust bobbins.

HTH Mike.

Lol

Mine came with the metal horizontal bar but not like that!! It was threaded on a rubber mount under the exhaust tube...


I was lead to believe this was correct... to a fashion.. however now i can turn it all upside over and fix it correctly.

Cheers mike

And the little spacer between the chassis and bracket is rusty for a reason, it's my sacrificial anode

Mine just had a rubber bobbin in place of the rusty spacer, direct onto the horizontal bar. Don't have any pics of it before I dismantled it. However, unless it was perfectly aligned before fitting it would shear off quickly ending up with the exhaust pipes scraping on the road (happened twice before I got the hang of it). At least with Philpott's arrangement if the rubber bobbins fail (less likely since there's 2) then the hanger sits on the bracket and stops the pipes hitting the floor.

Hahaha a plastic milk bottle space would do and wouldn't rust hehehe



it'll be the weekend job now but I can fabricate a bracket from the horizontal bar to chassis. :-)

Mikes only got that because thats one of my brackets, fitted for a previous owner (albeit normally mounted without the rusty spacer), You could of course purchase one!!

The rubber bobbins rarely fail (I won't say never) because they are under compression rather than tension.

I remember being told that the small 'cotton reel' type insulators are not designed for weight pulling them, and they come apart pretty quick. They should be mounted so they are under compression. (as Adrian says above)

Mine has a home made bracket and two of these insulators and is still fine. Insulators sit above the flat chassis strip and bracket loops around to support pipes. A bugger to get on and off, but works well. Original exhaust was bolted straight to the strip !!
