Age and constant exposure to salt air has taken its toll on the hangers that were formerly attached to my downpipe. The hangers are about 2/3 their original diameter and the welds where they attached to the cat have fractured allowing the hangers to come away. The obvious fix is to re-weld the hangers to the car housing but I suspect this will become an annual fix until its necessary to replace the downpipe. Anyway, was wondering if anyone is aware of any better options?
I suppose there is a good manufacturing reason to use mild steel hangers on a stainless pipe but they really are a pain to sort when they break. At least there is an affordable repair option for the rear hanger but nothing I've seen for the front one.
Thanks, guys
Cheers,
Bill
