<div dir="auto">It seems my original inquiry has evolved into a Concours Guide correction. Glad to be of service to the Healey community. More than likely the hanger and clamp I ordered from Moss will be UNF threads. While I respect a restoration where every fastener is correct to date of assembly on the line, I am not trying to recreate my car to that standard. I appreciate all the photos of the parts involved even though some have said it is not on their car and is not exactly necessary. I'm just trying to make it "look" right in the beginning. If it rusts off after a number of years that will just like they did originally. That aside, I still have not seen a photo of the assembly in place on the car.

It was still wrapped in this photo, but as Curt says- its British thread-probably until mid 1954 when they tried to unify or whenever the bin holding exhaust brackets ran out and they refilled it. Whichever came first.

<div>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.</div>
