I'm adding dual exhaust to my 1973 Torino. I picked up the driver's side bracket from an unknown year. But it looks MUCH different than the passenger side. Are the brackets from a factory dual exhaust the same, other than opposite construction (since they are facing opposite direction)? Or are they way different looking? Thanks. ------------- GKF |

Do you have pics? Or as Ford part number I can check? I believe they should be basically the same. ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |

I don't have the part number, but I have pictures of my passenger side rear bracket. This style is what I am looking for. I drilled out the rivets, took apart, soaked in white vinegar for a few days, and then took a wire brush to it. Then I spray painted it. For the rubber, I got some scrap conveyor belt rubber. I used a stainless steel "button-head" bolt and nut to mount at the rivet holes. I need another one, as I am installing dual exhaust.   ------------- GKF |
