What's included in an exhaust fitting kit ?

Post by MilitantGraham »

We need the rearmost clamp for the exhaust on a 1961 2 door saloon.
I'm working from the "Morris Minor Centre (Bath) Ltd" parts catalogue as it looks like an copy of the original complete with original part numbers as used by most other parts suppliers and also because they have got the most complete online catalogue.
We need part number GEX7228 Bracket, which is not listed online.
Part number EXH110 Fitting Kit, is listed both online and in the book, but there is no description.
Would I be right in guessing that the fitting kit includes; 2 off GEX7228 Bracket, GEX7229 Long Strap, GEX7230 Short Strap and possibly the bolts as well ?

I don't personally know (having never needed this kit) but why not ask the specialist you're going to buy it from? Most will happily explain what they're selling and will give fitting advice. If they aren't helpful go to another specialist who is.

East Sussex Minors (01580 200203) have always happily given advice to me when I've asked. Check their website and I'll bet you'll find they undercut CW as well.

Thanks for the link, Grainger. I thought I had checked all the parts suppliers links on the MMOC site, I must have missed that one. As we have got the old flat type clamps, the new U bolt type wont fit without the little curved plates, so for £7.50 I might as well buy the complete kit and have new straps and a spare manifold clamp as well.

Chris, it's not my Minor, it's the present Mrs Militant's.
I have spent all weekend playing with my toys (see link below) while she has been driving around with a loose exhaust pipe. For the sake of domestic harmony :evil: it would be best if I get this sorted and the parts ordered tonight rather than wait until the shop is open tomorrow and waste another day.
