Hi all. I'm getting a rattle from my exhaust in the middle of the car and was wondering if there are any specific brackets I can install to stop it. I have the fitting at the red circled locations but want something in the middle blue circled section.

The below mini isn't mine but is a perfect picture for what I need ?

If that was your car I think you would have a bigger problem than a rattling exhaust ;-)

It’s not touching the handbrake anywhere is it

Try loosening all the clamps and wiggle it and see what it is hitting, in the case of the recent RC40 install on the Cooper the rear box was just slightly touching the subframe, and hence pushing it a few millimetres the opposite way cured it.

There has never been any exhaust fitting in the blue area. So if you are wanting one you will have to make something.
