One of the rear silencer brackets on my beast fractured - too much load as the center hanger, is missing. There is the hanger part attached to the car, but oddly the rear section of the system does not have the necessary bits welded to it to attach the rubber to.

So, I have to bodge something up or change the whole bloody system, for some reason mine has long pipes coming out from the first box, without the hanger bits, then a short piped rear box section -

Anyone seen this, and is there a bracket that would work, or do I need to fabricate something and weld it on?

Replacing the rear strap without attending to the load problem will only result in it breaking again I guess.
