[Healeys] front muffler mounting point (Bt7)

[Rich C]

Simon,

The front muffler mount does not fasten to the outrigger. It is fastened to 
the driver's floor board, behind the outrigger, with two bolts 5/16" 
diameter by about 1" long, that sit side by side, whose hex heads will be 
inside the car, under the carpet underlay and tar paper lamination. Under 
the car, these will hold the front metallastic exhaust mount with 
lockwashers and nuts.
Sorry I don't have that model in the shop at the moment (any six cylinder 
model except the BJ8) so I can't give you any location dimensions. However 
if you assemble the complete system loosely so you can make small 
adjustments to everything it will soon become obvious where the mounting 
bolts need to be.
