Hello,
I have bought a whole new exhaust system, lcb,linkpipe and the playmini big bore side-exit back box. Everything has Fit really well except the stupid Arm's on the backbox... I have the mounting brackets but can't work out where and how to bolt them? and then, how do i connect the arms from the mounting brackets to the arms on the exhaust?
Any help would be so so soooooo Great as i am miniless at the mo.
Photo's of other peoples cars with the same exhaust would be grand.

(1988 mini)


Thanks Everyone

Alex.

You need to mount the exhaust to the hangers on the car using Exhaust rubbers.

Not sure what you mean about where to put the mounting brackets.

There should be some mounting points on the rear subframe.

it might be that you have an exhaust for the later minis.

hope this helps

easy

remove old exhaust fixings.

the two brackets you have one is straight ish the other has a largeish kink in it.

the straight on bolts to the under car part of the subframe where the headbrake cable is

the kinked one bolts in two holes on the passenger side rear section of the subframe from the inside edge.

then two rubber's like on late mini exhausts

sorted

A photo of your exhaust and subframe would be useful, as it sounds like you have a box with the hangers on for the later SPI/MPI cars...

If you are fitting this to a subframe without the hangers then they will need to be cut off as they will get in the way.

No u need the brackets that playmini sell to convert your subframe to lat type mountings.
