Exhaust system cunumgrums

I am trying to install a Bell stainless steel exhaust system on my 60 BT7. Problem is that the welded on bolts on the exhaust pipe are not lining up to the cars frame where the rubber mounts are to be installed. Weld to Weld is 36 inches while the rubber mounts are 34 inches apart. I noticed the old pipes were gerrymandered with strange pieces of metal to make the pipes fit also. Is there some sort of kit out there to allow me to adjust the spacing? Everything else seems to line up.

I think there is an installation kit that allows you to connect the system up .Keoke

I may be missing something, but the rubber mounts can be installed either of two ways. The bracket on the mounts is offset an inch or so from the bolt holes, so mounting them bracket-to-bracket or bracket-away-from bracket could make at least a 2" difference.
