How To Mount The Exhaust

[maccavvy]

Was never happy with the old exhaust mountings.

 

I have a new can now and need to mount it.

 

send me some pics or links guy ... need some inspiration

Depends what you mean by "Mount it?"

[maccavvy]

not that shaft........

 

 

how do i fix the exhaust to the car... think im safe with that

[tractor]

first of all I would incorporate a flexi

[tractor]

on my 2b it was bolted to the side panel with two bobbins but there was a lot of give in the side panel

[tractor]

got the GBS rear mount on the zero

the new silencer is huge so want something strong

 

dont want to go on the side panel imo.

[Guest mower man]

A flexi is a must !especialy with a big repackable can I used 4 bobbins in commpression [ v imp in my op ]will dig some photos up if you like , hows the rebuild going? mick

I was going to make a floor mounted bracket for my

2b running from gearbox tunnel under the seat to outer chassis with bobbin sat on top so can is pushing down onto bobbin

[Guest 2b cruising]

My 2b has an angle bar welded underneath coming out off the side. I think welded to the rear belt mounts or around there somewhere.

This is strong enough to take the weight of a large silencer.

As Mower Man rightly sugested bobbin mounts are designed to take the weight in compression, not on stretching.

The flex is a must if you both want to get rid of some nois and vibration out of the cabin.

This also stops the pipe and silencer splitting.

Good heavyweight bobbins are from Land Rover engine mounts.

Support the exhaust from underneath to eliminate any twisting forces and use a flexi between manifold and can. On the EXMO I have used a bit of stainless bar bolted on to the floor and shaped so that there is space for a bobbin to mount the exhaust to.

[maccavvy]

I thought of using an angle off the chassis floor

 

Then a bobbin on top...but how do I get the can on the bobbin.it's too big to get a strap for it..unless I go off the tail pipe .

 

It's never been on a flexible joint in the last 10years no issues.

On my zero the exhaust bracket was mounted on the floor, and held a bobbin that the back of mounted on, I had to weld an L shaped bracket onto the backbox to allow the bobbin to bolt through
