Title: Exhaust down pipe clamp Post by: jreacock on April 17, 2017, 09:00:13 PM Went to fit the exhaust at the weekend, but I must have a piece of the down pipe bracket missing. I have the 2 pieces that clamp around the pair of pipes as they come down from the manifold, and then a plate that screws to it - which goes towards the sump area. It looks like I'm missing a piece that must be a 90 degree bracket to attach the horizontal orientated bracket so that a stud coming from the bottom of the engine (also horizontal) can join the two together. I can't find a pic in the Haynes, and unfortunately, it's yet another picture that I didn't take during disassembly (18 months ago).
Has anyone got a picture of this bracket to engine interface that they can share? Thanks, Justin.

It's got a slot in it that the exhaust bracket slides into.

Does anyone have a spare if it comes to it? Thanks. (http://bracket.jpg) Title: Re: Exhaust down pipe clamp Post by: jreacock on April 20, 2017, 12:18:03 AM I have found this bracket now. It was where it exactly should have been all along - in the box of dwindling parts to be refitted - which I've looked at many times. In my defence, it was in an oily bag labelled 'exhaust bracket' - which fooled me into thinking it was one of the hangers at the back end of the exhaust, so I didn't pay it much attention. Panic over.
