rear exhaust bracket ????
« on: May 11, 2014, 07:46:38 PM »
Hi
Just found the my bis exhaust is not bolted to support brackets :(
I have sorted out the front bracket but the rear seem wrong.
To me it looks as if the bracket  been replaced wrong as the captivated nuts should
face the rear of the car Have added a picture
So what do you think
Cheers
Pete

No it's the wrong way round and yes you'll have to remove the starter I'm afraid

It's not a difficult job and you'll soon get that loving feeling back  ;D

I've just refitted mine so here's a tip make sure you tighten the exhaust at the headend first before doing the brackets up or the exhaust may not sit on the head squarely and blow :)
