Exhaust mount forward of axle

Post by thedogsbollox » Mon Aug 13, 2012 7:57 am

I noticed this mount has split and needs replacing. Problem is, firstly, I can't see how it is attached. Secondly I can't seem to find a new replacement. It is he rubber mount that is attached to a chasis cross member just forward of the axle. This may not be an original part as the exhaust is a stainless steel custom made one.
Any help will be gratefully received.

The standard rubber mounts can be seen here labelled as 40-061B and are pretty much the same on all vehicles, so can easily be picked up from Halfords etc. From what I've seen, most aftermarket exhaust retain all the original rubber fixings so it shouldn't be any different.

In terms of removal / refitting, it simply slides on to a metal lug although it will help to take the weight off the exhaust to make it easier. A drop of washing up liquid on the new rubber will help it slide into place if you find you're struggling.

Thanks but it is definitely not one of those normal figure 8 ones. It has a flat side that is attached to a cross member underneath. I think i will have to take it to the boys who fitted the stainless steel exhaust.
