Dan -
A buddy suggested the following for supporting the exhaust system at the back
end. I ran the idea past Orin and he liked it, too. The basic concept is to
use a rubber exhaust hanger from a car. These have holes in them -- one at
each end. One end can get bolted to an Adel clamp attached to the engine
mount. The other end gets attached to the exhaust pipe somehow -- possibly
to the clamp which holds the exhaust extensions to the headers. You do need
to support the exhaust extensions or they are guaranteed to crack somewhere,
but I think you already know this. You also have no place to attach it
except to non-moving structure (firewall or engine mount) so you need a lot
of compliance in the attachment mechanism.
I can't give you any more details, because I haven't gone to the auto parts
store and rummaged around. The ones I used on my 1979 Triumph Spitfire would
be perfect (these were sized and shaped like thick dominoes with a hole at
each end) but I wouldn't recommend trying to find Triumph parts -- that was
hard enough in 1986!
