That's alright, I'll probably buy the OEM rubber mountings anyway - they're not too expensive from Rimmers.

Good I'm not the only one! I just looked at it, and didn't even try

That's the thing though - I don't know if my exhaust body is aftermarket or not, so I'm not entirely sure that the Rimmerbros bracket (or any other bracket for the original exhaust) is the correct one. That's what I'd like to find out, but I don't know what to look for? The previous owner had so many parts replaced that I have no idea.

How did you attach them to the rubber mountings?
