Subject: [TR] Stag exhaust mounting

Hi all,

I've got a question on the exhaust mounting on a Stag.

I'm fitting a new stainless exhaust system from Rimmers and a bracket came with the mounting kit (158382) which is shown as the mounting bracket for the downpipes at the end where they attach to the mufflers.  On the gearbox, the upper mounting bracket thst attaches to the tailshaft has a bracket coming off it that drops down with two holes in it.  My old downpipes were attached directly to this bracket.

So where does this exhaust mounting bracket go and what does it attach to?  Its triangular so to speak and has 3 mounting holes.  2 would attach to the downpipes presumably, but where does that bracket attach to with the 3rd hole?  The catalog shows a bolt with no nut implying it screws into a nutplate.  Does this bracket attach to one of the holes on the gearbox upper mounting bracket?  

Stumped.  A picture would help.  Mine is a manual gearbox with A type OD, but it looks like the gearbox upper mounting bracket and this downpipe mounting bracket are common to all except the type 65 box.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Frank
