Kevin,
I deal with McMaster a lot. Have it in my favorites. They have many differant types there and I have never found that they were not able to ship right away. Good prices also.

Have you considered the mounts that SPF uses? They actually work quite well. I can send you some pics this weekend if you can wait a day or two. Not sure how your current configuration looks like, so I can't determine whether or not you would need to weld a different tab/rod to your existing set-up to make them work.

You Mean These Things?
These things? They just appear to be big-a$$ chunks of rubber on the ERA cars. They do work well though.

Terry- I'll look them over. I assume you have one of theirs, do you know which one ?
Dean, that would be great.
Patrick- That's gotta be strong. How does it dampen the vibration though ?

Apparently that big rubber vertical piece absorbs the vibration and provides structural integrity as well. I'd be interested in seeing shots of what the other manufacturers use. |

Oh, ok, I see that's it rubber and not metal. The coloring is about the same.
I wonder how stiff it is ?
(no pun intended)

With the way the Classic Roadster is set up I use a 3/8 thick rubber washer on each side of the flange, a flat washer and the bolt. That is it for mine.

Kevin,
I agree the mounts on your friends car may be different from others.....he either must not have original SPF sidepipes and/or sidepipe mounts. I remember seeing that bracket on a sidepipe website, but I can't remember where. I know for a fact it is not an original SPF mounting bracket.
These are what SPF supplies. The first picture is from the Superformance Mark III Installation Manual. The other 2 are of my original sidepipes:

(Rick- Great pics you have in your files. I like the titled "Bruce 4271", with the modern EFI type air filter, I would imagine very good surface area)

Exhaust Pipe Mount
Here is pic of sidepipe bracket used on my West Coast. Its a Walker Part number but I dont know where to find it. Two 5/16 bolts mount it into the chassis rail's steel nut-serts. Rectangular piece of dense rubber is molded with a slot to accept the steel tab off of the pipe. This pic is a top view.
