Exhaust mountings

[wiskeyfoxtrot]

Can anybody help,
I have a 582 and the exhaust mountings keep breaking!!!!!
I have tried the types you get at Midas and they are the biggest rubbish ever!!!!
Last rubber lasted all of 2 minutes before tearing in half.
The mounting rubber is round ( the size of an old 20C piece with a threaded pin on each side, 1.25 pitch thread.
The original rubber bushes lasted for ages ( good quality ) 110 hours !
Can anybody help with supplier who has good quality ?????????
the exhaust hangs underneath the motor & if these rubbers break off you stand to mince the prop
& exhaust canister. I have a safety cable attached but NOT good enough.

Same company and is the importer of ratax engines and parts. Sit down before asking for a price of anything there though.

Closest exhaust shop that sell Bosal exhaust systems. Will find what you need at a reasonable price and they last long enough to give you value for money.

Eish Boet, is dit 'n Boer maak n plan' of 'Backyard Mechanic'

[Boet]

Nee Grumpy, dis Boer maak n plan. Ek het gatvol geraak om daai larney rubbertjies te koop vir +-R80 stuk, net om hulle na elke paar uur te moet vervang. Hier is baie stukkies "offcut" 25mm radiator pyp, gevolglik kos die hangertjies my nie baie nie. As jy dit nog stewiger wil he, maak die pyp gedeelte vol poly-urethane sealer.
