Are we talking about the tail pipe coming out of the rear wing, if so i just used a new spare engine mounting rubber fixed to the bracket that is welded to the rear x member then a universal exhaust bracket coming off the top of the mount to the tail pipe

Yup that's the one, mine has a circular rubber gasket that fits around the tail pipe and then into the hole in the wing, its that rubber gasket that has worn away and broken

Not sure what mine is like. It's in for MOT Today I'll take a look and pic if any use. I'm sure mine is a fairly standard rubber but not 100%

Thats a strange looking rubber. Mine will be different as my pipe exits a lot higher up the bottom of the pipe is about 2 inch higher than the top of your chequer plate. If you type exhaust rubber into ebay there is one that could be similar with an I/D of 52mm

Are right i don't have one on mine as the hole is slightly bigger than normal on mine and the tail pipe doesn't touch.

i would say that's the better approach mine seems to need the rubber to stop it falling out as it did, the other issue is it started to bubble the paint work during the period i did not notice that it was up against the bodywork
