heavy duty exhaust rubbers
« on: 14 June 2007, 21:29 »
my back box rear rubber snapped today on my way home from work so i changed it and as i was laid on my wet drive in the rain wrestling a new one on i wondered if there was any heavy duty ones i could get so does anyone know if i can get some and where from as next time i will probably end up laid in a foot of snow doing the same thing (nowt ever goes wrong when the sun shines does it)

Maybe ask at a local powerflow place? Some of those systems can weigh a ton, so i guess they must use something more beefy than a standard rubber!

I don't think a semi will give the same results

Used to have an Impreza with a 'kin heavy system on it.  Used a pair of Halfrauds loops cable tied together on each mount- worked a treat and lasted for ages.

Used the tie to keep the two loops together around the middle, which limited the stretch.  Cheap but effective!

get a big jubilee clip and tightend it round the rubber thats what i done on mine

if you look real close at this pic you can just about see the jubilee clip going over teh top of the rubber hanger and coming back down round the back of it - works a treat
