Broken rear exhaust bracket.
« on: 07 April 2009, 20:16 »
Hi guys

It would appear my rear exhaust bracket has snapped off from the body of the car (oops). Is there a simple fix to this or is it a welding job?

Weld it back on. Or a new one from Europarts for around £35.00.

Not necc. As long as the exhaust is properly supported it'll be fine. If its hanging loose at the back supported by nothing, then not so much.

Weld a new one on, a 20 min job.
