Scorpion Exhaust back box mount?

[josh-hocking]

Hi guys.

I have got a backbox for my car (318) and i have come to fit it.

I cut part of the pipe off the old backbox and welded it to the new, so i have the same length and shape - i did this as i then thought it would be a straight swap haha..

so i held it to the car and fitted it to the centre section and everythings perfect except the straps to mount the actuall box, i have made them smaller but it wont hold it in the correct position - just wondering if there is a scorpion mount specific? i have googled it and found nothing up to now.

Thanks
Josh

that's my old le mans back box from touring whores m42'd touring



he never mounted it properly either.

if you have a welder you can make something that will work if yo can't get the right part .

[josh-hocking]

Yeah i got a welder... no idea what to make or where to mount it to though... any ideas?

[magpie]

use another strap and weld it to the one that is round the box ?

or summit like that but it needs the part the for the rubber hanger to wrap round so you get no vibration. i take it you trimmed the valance and never butchered it like some i've seen.

[josh-hocking]

Hmm il get thinking....

And regarding the valance, i didnt want to cut it so i bent it out of the way, it will bend back it need be aswell......

Is it possible to adapt a standard wrap-round strap thingy?
That way you will get the difficult bit that hangs from the rubber readymade..

have a look at the pic Dan put up on my thread here Josh. Maybe an idea?

I had the same problem mounting my M3 scorpion system to a 4 pot ready turd.
