I have generally referred to both BSW and BSF as Whitworth fasteners. But, I have been “corrected” a number of times over this last year by some that say BSF is not Whitworth. So, is BSF Whitworth, or is it not? <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">

<div class="">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
