Does anybody have a good idea for exhaust hangers? I saw this setup but don't know what kind of rubber to use. |

I don't know where I found them now, but I have a small spring that hangs from the engine mount and connect to the exhaust. Spring attaches to an adel clamp from the engine mount. |

I used exhaust hangers I bought from NAPA. They are this style: https://www.amazon.com/Walker-36274-Exh ... 9WJ6&psc=1 I cut my first set down so they were mounted vertical but I didn’t like the vibration being transmitted to the airframe. I mounted the new ones without cutting and hung them so they curve down. The vibration was greatly reduced. |

Guys I used pieces of automotive serpentine belts. Got them for free at a local garage. Jim |

Hi Guys, Mine is like the photo, but using stainless steel shim stock. Perhaps .025” thick. Stainless is low conduction, heat proof and shouldn’t need replacement. In engineering it would be called a “flexure”. Relatively holds things in place in all but one direction. Just be sure it has smooth edges. Wouldn’t recommend aluminum. Les |
