[Healeys] Exhaust hangers

[Curtis Arndt]

I agree!

Most of these were lost to rust decades ago, and I for one am amazed that
these two survived in such good condition. BTW I did replace the nuts with
NOS BSF ones, two in steel and two in brass [as per the photos].

However, I did find out that bronze "spring washers" fail rather quickly
under heat so I replaced them with steel ones.
