Hi
Was wondering if anyone had pictures of what the hangers or brackets for the exhaust pipes look like for a car with over drive. The hanger location I am interested in, is at the transmission location.
I installed a over drive and after looking at Moss catalog, it would appear the there should be a different hanger set up, than a car without over drive. Is this correct?
Also I am not sure what was there is correct either.

BTW, still having sticking problems with the OD, am troubleshooting with the supplier. Early verdict is the clutch. If I have to pull the trans and OD, I want to square away the exhaust, if I need to.
Thanks
 
A note on exhaust hangers. Generally speaking, and as I see it, every exhaust hanger on the market from every vendor is inferior junk. Whether you go with stock exhaust or custom, that little piece of metal hanging off the tranny area is pretty lame. I have dual Falcons and I resorted to custom brackets that I fabricated myself. Now, with no pics available at this moment, this obviously leaves it up to one's imagination what I am talking about, but if you have a good muffler shop, look into an improved hanging system. Hopefully, I can get the car in the air one day to take some pics. Someone on the forum had a real pro install his custom system and it was very impressive, with welded flange joints and all. Just making the point that what you get from the vendors is close to stock, but weak.
 
Ok Bill
What do you think,should those brackets be all metal rigid mount or a flexible strap configuration. The flexible ones seem to be a rubber and canvas mix, and I would assume one would want to position it so it holds the pipes in the center of the frame tunnel?
