DaveN Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 How do the twin silencer exhausts mount at the rear. Do they hang from the cross tube or do they mount to the boot floor? If the latter are there brackets avail able, or does anyone have dimensions of something suitable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Depends on which system it is, did you get a fitting kit for it? Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Salisbury Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 On a 5/6 chassis there should be one bracket welded to the cross tube (item 51.....Pt no. 142449) on the near side of the car, the 4A chassis, which uses a twin rear pipe system, has 2 of these brackets. NCA from Moss at moment, but fairly easy to fabricate, then you need two short lengths of flexible exhaust straps to the silencer brackets, I use stainless nuts and bolts hear to make subsequent removal easy.

RobH Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Rob - I don't know what your experience of the SS nuts and bolts has been but stainless-on-stainless can lead to thread 'galling' or cold-welding. One chap I knew did a restoration on a Rover using only stainless fasteners thinking it would solve all corrosion problems, but he found he couldn't get some of them apart again. Had to resort to splitting the nuts in the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Cheers gents This is a Phoenix system that's been gathering dust in the garage. I do have the fixed hanger on the left hand side, so if that is utilised with this system I'll fabricate a suitable hanger for the right hand box. I do have the straps kicking about somewhere.

I always work on the principal that if I've undone it once then I'm bound to return to it sometime in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
