Sound loffty havin some trouble mate? what sort of rubbers you using plus is it knockin by the back box?

 

[Loffty01]

standard one's only bought them last week and its the box thats by the cat (middle box's) thats knocking by the handbreak mate

 

[TMODAlpha]

Are there no hangers on the middle section, where it joins to the cat?

 

[Loffty01]

no mate the pic of it is above fella sounds great other wise tho just the banging is doing my head in

 

[TMODAlpha]

Look under the centre section, there should be 2 hangers. Might be worth getting some hangers welded on and put some rubbers on. Only way I can see you fixing it. Can't really think of an easy way to do it.

In Halfords you can get a clamp that goes around the pipe and has what looks like a Mechano bit on it. You could fold this over, and use a long bolt to hang it through another rubber. I had to do this once at the back of my back box to stop the pipe sagging.

got any pic's mate

 

[TMODAlpha]

Sort of like that. Trim or fold to size. Slot a bolt through a hole, through a hanger and stick on a nut on the other end. might help a little. Worth a try for a few quid.

The clamp at the one in halfords is a lot bigger, and the joint for the bar is lockable with nuts if i recall.

cheers mate im looking on eBay for ideas as we speak

 

[Loffty01]

Morning bump can anybody help me please,
I've still got the old middle box so thinking of cutting the hangers of there . just trying to think of a way to secure them on the new box's as i haven't got a welder.

 

[Rusty]

Take it to an exhaust place and get them to weld the 2 hangers on

 

[TMODAlpha]

Probably the best way in the end. Won't take too much time, and it shouldnt cost much either. Probably cheaper than buying clamp hangers, bolts and rubbers and you haven't got to do anything.

 

[Loffty01]

Cheers both i'll get it sorted just thought i could have sorted it my self.

 

[TMODAlpha]

Get a few quotes, im guessing it will be between £20-40 depending of if they want to take it off. Couldnt see them having to.
