Propshaft Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Is there a knack to fitting the rubber donuts between pipe bracket and body Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerrytr5 Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 A stout screwdriver and a bit of swearing. The standard ones seem to last five minutes. I popped down my local motor factors and asked to look through their box of exhaust mounts and found some similar but modern ones which have so far lasted considerably longer.

BusheyTrader Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 I made this tool from some copper fuel tubing and then used a cheap pipe bender to shape it. It saves lots of swearing, scraped knuckles and screwdrivers through palms. I thought the tugging required would misshapen it but yet to happen. Some kit car component suppliers have more professional offerings at a price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
