[Healeys] Exhaust Hanger replacement

[Steve B. Gerow]

They're original style - on the roadsters they're used in both tension and shear but not compression.

Not sure it would be possible to use the straps without the exhaust hanging down further which is not acceptable.

The idea of modifying the original designs by turning them upside down or otherwise supporting them to put them in compression is intriguing - I may work on that angle. I can see how that would put a lot less strain on the glued joints.
