BJ8 Exhaust Hanger Pictures Wanted

[fwtexasbj8]

I just got my car running after a total engine rebuild and it is running great! No more ticking sound! Root cause was broken rings in 4 of 6 cylinders.

Unfortunately, on the way home from the Texas Healey Roundup this past weekend, I was rear-ended about a mile from home. Lady that hit me said she had been following me for several blocks and was "admiring my car" then failed to stop in time and tagged me in the right rear at a red light. I think I was very lucky in no damage to the rear shroud or fenders but it did buckle my boot lid a bit. Should be an easy fix, I think. The only mechanical damage I have found so far is it broke the exhaust hanger on the aft passenger side.

Looking at the parts catalogs, it is apparent I never had the correct exhaust hanger arrangement so would like to put it back right now. Does anyone have a good set of pictures of the driver and passenger side mounts at the rear of the car where the mufflers cross over?

Was your car in the car show?

Yes Patrick, it was the black one parked outside.

is your exhaust a stock system?

 

[fwtexasbj8]

Kind of. It is a chrome Tourist Trophy system from Moss

Mine is a Bell system, but I believe all of the parts duplicate the originals. Hanging Kits should be available from the usual sources.
Is this the area you are wanting? Located next to the left rear tire.

Patrick,
Thanks for these and they help. Do you have any pictures of the mount on the other side behind the right rear tire?

Hi Patrick,
Appreciate the photos as I am also trying to hang a new stainless system on my late BJ8. Do you have any pictures of the mount at the rear of the silencers (mufflers)? When I hang the mount that came with my system it doesn't line up. I may just have it installed incorrectly.
thanks, Kent

Post photos of the parts that came with your kit and what brand did you buy.

Hi Patrick,
The system is a Limora.

The mounting kit is > Auspuffanlage für Austin Healey | 204905 | Limora Oldtimer <.
I am doing well for all the mounts with the exception of the one just forward of the rear outrigger.
Later today I'll try and get a decent photo of how I have it currently.
