Does any one have a spare exhaust mounting bracket which bolts to the handbrake cable mounts. The one at the bottom of the photo.

I was just about to send you that image via whatsapp!!

If you can determine the centre between the two holes, I can scale/interpolate other sizes off the top bracket...

Distance between the holes is the same as a stock Dolomite bracket as it fits on 2 bolts through the body. That "special" bracket is just about a half inch longer and the turned over end has an 8mm hole in it.

I don't use them myself, preferring to use the stock one, a longer rubber mount sourced from the factors and a home made bit bolted or welded to the relevant clamp at the pipe end. The little "cotton reel" Rimmers supply for this is both too hard and too intolerant of stress to last long! As I found out several times, so I invented my own solution. Pic tomorrow when there's daylight!

PS To get the Dolomite length Sports back box under the Toledo boot floor, I had to take circa 1" off the back of the cross axle pipe about 1.5" off the inlet pipe of the rear box and elongate the fitting slits almost to the box entry itself and finally remove around 3" off the tail pipe, ( I slash cut it too, but that's just me being flash!)
