I've bought a stainless steel catback to replace the crumbly and rapidly falling apart standard (likely original) exhaust.
I'm aware of the issue with doing this job and the brake pipes that run over the rear axle, but they aren't an issue, as they've been replaced and rerouted anyway.

I do need to investigate the issue of adding the rear exhaust hangers to the chassis, are these purchasable from anywhere, or do I just fabricate sometihng?

Make some think they are part of chassis assembly. Can't see anything separate on Microcat.

Interesting. I have been thinking to do the same. Still need to reroute the brake lines. Checking Rave for the later model info and it is not too clear. Are they routed along the crossmember near the airsprings? I see flexihoses are used for the final line to the calipers.
Hangers will be interesting too.

Cheers

THink I should be OK with brake lines, as these were relocated when the old originals crumbled, I will try and remember to take some photos, one other thing, I'm a bit concerned about welding on a car with such sensitive electrical system as this one, apart from disconnecting the battery and ensuring the earth lead is as close as possible to the area the hanger is being welded to on chassis, any other tips, apart from grinding the galvanisation off the chassis?
