    Does anyone have a recommendation for a simple way to secure my exhaust pipe?

    The original bracket was completely rotted and came apart last weekend. I was thinking I could just get a ubolt as a simple fix but the only place to secure that directly above is where the pipe is already curved. So it looks like I'd need at least two parts to use that tab above. Wondering if someone had a suggestion for some cheap parts i could pick up at the hardware or auto-parts store rather than trying to track down this part.

    Apologies if this is a stupid question. Bear with me - pretty inexperienced with this stuff so any input or advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Just go hit up a muffler shop. They have more styles of brackets than you can think of. 5 bux later and you are on your way.

    I welded a tab(with hole for bolt) on pipe, cut up a tire for a piece of rubber and a bolt on the frame holds it...Frank Kunkel

    It would be a good idea to consider stainless hangers and clamps!
