Morris Minor Owners Club

Just bought some new exhuast straps for my Minor. I removed the exhaust a couple of years ago and, now I have the pipe lifted into place, I need to hang it on the straps. Does anyone have a picture of how these rubber straps actually fit? I know they use exhaust clamps to attach to eh pipe, but where and how to they attach to the body?

See attached link for assembly details.

The front strap is bolted through the body floor pan under the rear seat squab N/S. The there should be a 1/4" dia hole at the bottom of the slope.
The rear strap is bolted through the body floor pan in the boot N/S by the rear bumper iron on the upward sloping section. Again a 1/4" dia hole.

Slightly worried when you say 'rubber straps' - they should be fabric strip material - perhaps with some rubber impregnation ? Is that what you have ? 'Rubber' will allow too much movement.

Whatever ESM gave me.
I think, looking at the diagrams, I just need to fab up some angled brackets to join the clamps to the straps.

Hopefully they sent you the slightly more expensive 'canvas' straps - rather than the cheaper rubber versions.......

The ones I have are already fitted with a shaped metal end that fits to the curve of the exhaust and is secured with a normal U bolt type clamp.

Yes - that's the 'norm' - but not from ESM it seems....

Correct. ESM sell the metal parts separately. I'll be making my own though, I'm not paying one pound bloody fifty each for them

Quite right too!
