Steve -
Yeah, it's real hit and miss with those things. The worst part is
they are used on just about every british car ever made, I have no
clue why someone doesn't make them decently or actually improve them.
On my BJ8, with the heavy exhaust system, I just rigged them up with
the reinforced universal rubber hangars you can get from Pep Boys /
NAPA, etc. They are usually rubber strips with lots of holes in the
strips. You can get them to work real well using the existing mounts
and a little creativity.
