the frame below the transmission brace. It is on the pass. side. You
might be able to feel it if you stick you hand up in there (careful of
sharp edges & hot things!!)
On my car the pipe is "shrunk" a bit to go thru the X member. I didn't
measure it but I think it goes from 1 1/2 to 1 1/4".
Page 16 of the Moss catalog (ed. TRI-05) has a picture of the hanger.
(Items 15 & 16). These don't look exactly like the one on my car, but
mine may not be stock- the DPO paid a lot of money for a "custom"
(rip-off) exhaust.
(For chassis location, see p. 54-- exhaust hanger is just above the #62
circle on the TR4 frame)
I'd swop you my cast-iron manifold fer yor header, but I don't know what
cam I have in the car (and am not prepared to look-- no money for gaskets)
...plus I am running with a Datsun muffler which is plenty loud enough :-)
