Securing the exhaust better

I do like Ryan and use a universal hanger. I had to double nut the bolts to keep them from loosening.

On a RHD Model A, the orientation of the exhaust clamp is critical. If it is even slightly out, the clutch pedal won't go down. To make this easier, we have for many years converted the standard clamp to the type you mention by putting a helicoil in one side. Orientation is then less critical but still a PITA.

Thanks Synchro. That is good to know.
