Exhaust mounts

[billybradshaw]

Afternoon all,

I've just replaced the rear exhaust hangers and whilst doing so I noticed a redundant rubber bobbin mounted on the end of the chassis's ladder brace.

Presumably there should be some bracketry at this point to support the exhaust but I'm not sure what I need or whether it is actually better to leave it off.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Mine used to have a crudly welded tab with a hole in it between the pipes, the bobbin mounted to that. Is there any signs of welded on your pipes in that area?

I didn't notice any signs of welding but that's not to say there aren't any, I'll have another look tonight.

Yes, that bobin is there to support the weight of the exhaust and hold it all central.

Right OK thanks for that.

I'll see if I can knock up a bracket using U clamps and some mild steel section.

Mine hasn't been there for at least 7 years.

I may fit one one day but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
