Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		My car had single exhaust so I didn't have one oem muffler hanger for to mount when I installed the dual exhaust system.

I asked a company to make me two new when they had some time over............................... that was 4 weeks ago and they didn't even start on them, so I bought some material and made them myself.

You think you have used a thick enough material? Is that 2.5mm?

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		It's 3 mm Herman - the oem one was 1/8" (3,15mm), and yes, it will work out just fine - I had to use a pipe extension on the vise to bend the hangers.

I want to have the oem look without all the rust pittings. The original one was severly rusted out, but still held on for all those years. There will also be new balata belt for a good look and function.

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		For some reason, the clamp in the original one acted like a sacrificial anode and it had rusted very thin, practiaclly broke into pieces when I tried to demount it. The hanger itself had very much surface rust, but, you're right Sid - it will still work for many years. It would not please me to have one nice and one bad.

Ron, Yep, that is why he is called the Wizard. He is completely consumed with 1960 Chrysler. And has magic hands!

Location: cornpatch county, Southwest IOA		Wiz, You do excellent work. I wish there was someone close by that could do that well. I have a friend that can fix almost anything that is possible to fix, but He won't work on anything but his own stuff. He hates to charge anyone for the time it takes in doing so. Personally, I would gladly pay for that time because I know it would be done right...............................MO

Location: Perth Australia		Not sure anyone would want to pay to do them like that (by hand)

Just to use my labour rate, assuming Wiz only worked for 8 hours/ day, that = AU$1840,00/ per hanger

If anyone is interested in paying that much for them, please shoot me a line and I will sort it out

Hey Wiz, might have a business proposition for you
