Exhaust Hanger Missing Hardware

[butteiful]

Hi there, found some hardware on the floor of the garage and got under the car to find the exhaust support loose.

After looking at realoem, it appears i'm missing #1-7. Can someone confirm that that is indeed what I'm missing and is there a kit that comes with all this hardware? Or do I have to source everything individually?

Looks to me like you have everything but the rubber washers/spacers and the bolts, washers and nuts.

#6 and 7 are for the u-boot that holds the bracket to the downtube and that’s all still present on yours (except it’s double nutted instead of the single nut shown in RealOem). Comparing the diagram to your car, I am a bit confused on whether you need #5 or not. I’d need to crawl under my car to know for sure but I am sure others will know.

The goal is to have a secure connection to the trans mount that is flexible.

Use rubber washers (oil/gas resistant) and a bushing to keep the bolt/nut tight, but allow a rubber cushion to avoid vibration.

BTW, the double nuts on the U-bolt is to hold the heat shield (missing in your picture).

This bracket looks like homemade one to me. Is the car equipped with 5 speed trans?

Bingo bango. Makes sense that #5 isn’t present on your car, it’s a custom bracket instead. Real OEM can be informative but not gospel in your case.

If the rubber spacers go TU on a road trip you can use a couple of bits of 1/4 inch long fuel hose squished between the washers for a get home repair.

Question for you, SoM, since you are familiar with this area. Do the larger holes on the bracket attached to the trans mount on Butteiful’s car look like they will fit the OEM bushings? I think he just needs to know whether or not to order the part numbers in the Real OEM diagram.

The rubber spacers fill the 2 large holes in the bracket on the trans, then the bolts go thru the bracket on the arm hooked on the exhausts and the washers and nuts go on the front side of the trans bracket, I don't remember the difference, but the new bushings are a bit different than the ones shown but still work fine. Any one of our 2002 parts venders can fix you up, it's not a big job.

So, #1, 2, 3, 4, 6 (I misspoke above, you do need these AND they are used on the u bolt), and 7 in the diagram. You can search by part numbers on www.blunttech.com (or your choice of vendor) and if you can’t find them on the site then they can probably still get the part (assuming it’s not NLA). They are super responsive if you email sales@blunttech.com

Yes, a double helping of numbers 1 and 2... the rest is just bolts, washers, and nuts.
