The back box on my Touring is solid but not so solid are the straps that hold it, they have rusted out.....
Where can a get some more?

Had a similar problem on my Sport once. I just "fabricated" a bracket and tied it on with wire. Not recommended, 'cos Mr MOT man won't be happy lol
Just get replacement bracket from BMW.

Mines fully wired on,as long as it's secure there is nothing in the MOT handbook which says what material should be used to hold the exhaust on,in fact,mines been hung on wire for more than one MOT.
