Hi, so my classic Austin Mini Racing Flame 1989 has a broken rear exhaust bracket.

 

I have taken it to a garage and the best advice they could give me was to source the part and they replace the broken part with the new one.  

 

I have tried to find a replacement part but I cannot find it anywhere, although I'm not entirely certain what the actual part is supposed to look like. 

 

I have attached pictures of what the broken piece looks like, it is still attached to the exhaust pipe. 

 

And advice on which part it is? 

 

Thank you in advance :)

Thank you, will that be the only part I will need?

well its just a bracket if a garage cant fix it then i would not let them near my car,

Yeah takes 1 minute to change. Best to check other brackets aswell. I think halfords sell them.

I have no mechanical experience, will I be able to get a mobile mechanic to put it on, or will I need my car to go up on the ramp (in a garage)?

Trolley jack, axel stands, spanner/ratchet and can do it yourself as a novice in about 10 mins start to finish.

If its just that one then only spanners/ ratchet as you can just lay down and see it no probs.

How does the part fit to the car? It doesn't look like what was there before? 

Thanks for all your help guys by the way!

It might just be me, but it looks like the existing mount has been welded/tacked into place and might be difficult to get off. Again, it looks as though you have a bigger exhaust on your car, and the standard pre 1990 exhaust bracket won't fit?
