I don’t know how the BJ8 mounts are but they look similar to the
BT7. If so, the bonded rubber block un-bonds with slightest knock
on the pavement. I made custom ones that use the same mounting
chassis mounting holes but it uses modern off the shelf rubber
isolators. I had to weld the front mounting bar to the muffler. Not
a single problem and it has been over 6,000 miles. On the BT7 the
front mount bolts to the floor pan and the rear mount bolts to the
frame so one is horizontal and the other is vertical.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I’m getting around to
installing that new exhaust and I have the stainless version of the
fastening pieces.</span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I’ve figured out most
of it, but the mounting point at the back of the main mufflers has
me confused.</span></p>
</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The kit comes with two
bonded rubber mounts, but the bolt pattern under the car only seems
to have the right orientation for one of the mounts.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>To be more clear, one
set of bolts, or studs, come down one in front of the other so that
the mount slots into them, and then there is a right angle bracket
that then attaches to the double spaced clamp that goes over the
top of the pipes. But because the kit has two of these mounts, and
two right angle brackets, I expected there to be a mirror image
example next to it. But no, I’ve got another set of two studs that
are diagonally oriented.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Difficult to describe
exactly what’s going on, but the diagrams I can find of the system
show one of these mounts above the double pipe bracket, and I’d
assumed there were two because my kit came with two. Maybe my car
doesn’t have the correct studs? The old system was held on with a
non-stock arrangement.</span></p>
