Yesterday morning after I parked up the exhaust silencer fell off. I'm grateful it didn't happen a few minutes earlier while driving.



I managed to get the replacement parts from JustKampers and they arrived sharpish this morning. But, when I went to remove the old parts the mount fell off, it was rusted through.



I've got the brackets. (Like these)



But I need new mounts, these aren't available separately from JustKampers.

Any idea where I might pick up a set quickly?

Or something similar that I can get it secured with?

Which part of the country do you live?
Perhaps somebody could mig your original bracket.
If you’re in Worcestershire I may be able to help.

Thanks, I'm in Hertfordshire but the original is so badly corroded I'd be setting myself up for another fail.

Looks like I'll have to buy this part to get the bracket?!

Got the bit between yer teeth now, eh Pete? 


Fresco3000, so your exhaust really did fall off this week! If Jilldub cant help, I have a spare. That if it's the bracket you are referring to  supports the exhaust between one and three cylinders?

On my van, this part is what was holding the silencer on. But I'm beginning to think I've got the got the wrong end of the stick?

Let me search for it tomorrow.

Is the silencer supposed to be mounted on this bracket?

Yes. But not actually welded. By hand you can force the clamp open and slide over pipe. Use some vice grips to pinch it closed again. Then add a bolt and nut

Has the exhaust twisted and cracked too?

Looks to be hanging quite low. I can't remember how it joins together near cylinder 4. 

Obv this won't help the initial question - I've looked and can't find a standalone item needed - just thinking best to check there rather than sort this one bit and find it leaking due to a crack etc.

Perhaps the cast elbow connecting bolts have sheared off. Or Frisco3000 removed the bolts?

True.

It has cracked due to rust and drop - so I've got both replacement parts. I removed the bolts yesterday.
