I got a central bracket I made myself.
A coat hanger !
Where/what does that bugger look like ?

Sebasitan,
I'm sure it would work on mine too. THe problem with the Monza system
is the single pipe splits into 2 right below the diff and that is where
the center bracket is located (also on yours). I think both setups are
pretty much the same, since they are derived from the same design.
