Get the pukka rubber jobs (I got mine from Rimmers). My new clamshell (off DMGRS) and new hanger bracket of e-bay (apparently genuine MGR but made of flat galvanised steel rather than the pressed profile now available as OEM) seem to fit and support the exhaust system fine but only the rear black rubbers were replaced because I couldn't source an OEM intermediate section at the time. I've just spent a small fortune on one (and a sleeve clamp) off Rimmers so the intermediate red rubbers will go on when that is fitted.
Amazingly the intermediate section looks to be original because it's integrated with the cat front section - 17 years and 167K later after leaving the factory, not bad.
