Default Exhaust bracket.

Did the s2 have a bracket for supporting the exhaust system mounted near the fuel pump area as standard, if so was it a bolt on affair?

Both the exhausts I've had on my turbo cab have had a bracket on them in this area, (mongoose & scorpion)

I need some extra support for the system, esp as the centre clamp keeps getting clobbered on speed bumps etc. (suspension raise is on the cards)

If it is a bolt on job has anybody got one spare?

Cheers
Stu.

Thats the other option, ideally I would like something bolt on.

you can weld a bracket to the floor which is easy, but being a stainless system to make it easy you could buy a universal hanger/clamp to put on the exhaust and fit to the one you just welded in
