Darren Groves Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Trial fitting the Semi-Sport exhaust on my MK4 Spitfire with the fitting kit from the club shop (body isn't on the car yet)...are there only 2 mounting points, one from the Diff carrier and the other from the boot floor? Also the hanger from the diff carrier seems a bit low (see pic), is this as it should be or should it be higher? Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Does look low, I always get the exhaust tucked up nice and close to the diff. I guess the shop is limited by what parts are available, the original used a stepped rubber washer/bush for the hole is not the diff plate, then a metal bracket. Not great as the rubber was going beer a lot of stress. So a rubber hanger works well. They are easy enough to cut and carefully drill a hole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NonMember Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Definitely too low, by a couple of inches. As Clive says, the original style hanger is quite different. I'd see if you can find one - they work better than Clive's comment suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
