Tamora Sports Exhaust Hanger?

[GG33]

Just picked up a pair of sports boxes for the Tamora but the hangers appear to be 90 deg out when compared to the original rear silencer?
Those of you that have made the change to the RG/TVR Power sports box, how have you dealt with this issue?

Cheers

Are you sure they are for a tamora? Holes in hangers are side to side not front to rear? Where did you get cans from?

|Got them from Racing Green and they are labelled as Tamora. The hanger spigots on the boxes are side to side whereas the spigots on the original wide box that came off are front to back.

I know I had to have new hangars when I had my JP exhaust fitted but it was all done by the garage.

There is one for the left side and one for the right (they are not identical), either that or they have sold you the T350 cans by mistake. Mine came with a L&R written on them!

The std hangers fit just fine but if they are starting to perrish for £20 just replace them. The new cans are so light the new mounts will last forever.

My cans are the same as in the picture above, but my existing hangers are running at 90 degerees compared to those shown, Obvioulsy not difficult to swing them through 90 deg but that then interferes with the cover plate that no longer fits. Looks like its goung to need a little tweeking. I guess my question should have been "Did you have to do any mods, however small, or was in simply a bolt off - bolt on replacement"?

1/2 hour job in total. Un-bolt the diffuser and remove. I replaced the bolts with new stainless ones as they will be rusty. Un-do the band clamps round the pipes, again bin and replace as they will be rusty. Remove the clips that hold the hangers through the rubber mounts, again replace as they will have corroded. Give it a wiggle and the box comes off.

The cover plate (that the number plate mounts on) slides under the front edge of the hangers as pictured. You might need to grind two grooves to slide round the studs that the hangers fit on.

The hangers are mounted on studs bonded into the body of the car so not sure how you have ended up with hangers that are orientated the other way. Held on with 13mm nyloc nuts best removed with an extension bar to clear the body. I would replace these too.

Nothing (should) need modifying you just need to make sure you line the cans up correctly so they don't rub on the back of the car or the diffuser.
