Snap - 2001 ford focus.
I couldn't find and suitable bracket and 2 off garages didn't want to weld
to the back of the cat, or didn't want the job.
I bodged up a DIY bracket.


Thanks for that, I'll do a temporary bodge with some coat hanger wire or
something to get me by, whilst I see about procuring the parts you
suggested. :-)


Coathanger exhaust fixes tend to be permanent in my world. Rubber loops might reduce noise some but they're hopeless reliability wise. Bull over substance as always.

The rubber loop is there to prevent *fatigue* of the steel hangers.
