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.

Michael, FWIW, both of my ORIGINAL "U" shaped clamps have BSF fasteners... See photos. I reused one of my originals when I restored my BN1. Modern reproduction "U" clamps use UNF or more commonly UNC fasteners.

The strut attaches to an extra length oil pan screw, the one directly below the spot where the tach cable attaches to the tach drive housing.

Excuse my ignorance, but can someone tell me what number 8 is bolted to and where does it clamp to the exhaust pipe? Anyone have a picture of this hanger in place?  I am ordering all the hangers for the exhaust system to install before I take the car off the jack stands.
