Alright all, had a bit of a mishap while clattering round the countryside today, must have been some sort of hidden ridge in the road because there was an almighty bang and then a ting ting ting noise, when I investigated I found the bolt that passes through the rear exhaust bracket has been ripped right through the rubber mounting and the ting noise was the exhaust bouncing. I've been on the parts sites but can't find one, does this bolt go right through the rubber mounting or was it originally cast into the rubber? Just seeing what the options are.

Cheers Mark

Mine scrapes on a regular basis due to the wonderful roads in Herefordshire. Its 'filed' the thread down to the nut.

Threaded bar is your friend. The rubber hole can wear over time.

No biggie.

Alright all, job sorted, I would just like to add big washers to the list of our friends along side threaded bar. I've probably over tightened it and the pipes will bang against the body but heyho you've got to start somewhere right.
Thanks for the help

Cheers Mark

When the threaded section went on my hanger I used a coach bolt of the right diameter, ground off the head, heated it up to cherry red and bent it to 90°.

Job done in about 10 minutes.
