As the title says, what size bolts do I need to attach the exhaust hanger to the front of the rear subframe on a 1993 Mini Sprite?

If it makes a difference, it's to attach an RC40 exhaust!

Thanks

Jamie

Do you mean you have bought exhaust hanger adaptors to fit a rear subframe? I thought on the more modern mini's they have hangers welded to the rear subframes?

Is your RC40 cat back side exit? or centre?

When you say front of the subframe, which end are you actually talking about?

Sorry, should have been more clear.

Normal RC40 fitting kit for earlier style cars...without welded hangers...I'm missing the middle exhaust mounting, e.g. at the front of the rear subframe, nearest the front of the car.

I'm buying the mounting that attaches to the subframe but don't know what size bolts are needed to fit the two holes:

It's for side exit...but not sure that matters!

Thanks again!

It's not a bolt, it's a screw. A 5/16" UNF hex headed set screw, 5/8" long.
