Has anybody in SA fitted these exhaust brackets instead of springs? Any feedback on how will they work (or don't). Thanks.

Ja I hate it when I do that. Here are examples of two different types - I like the idea without springs.

Hi CW,
I like the flanged one. Never seen them in SA though.
But with 100 hours usable life and safety wire in terms of the current spring set-up, I personally don't see a need for change.
For info, the black colour on the exhaust is from using a 50/50 mix of raw linseed oil and mineral turpentine – painted on while the exhaust is still very hot.

Springs are lighter and work.

Try California Power Systems. They ship to SA - I have used them in the past.

I thought it was a very neat and simple installation - and they so kindly give you an expanded shot of what the bracket consists of. Nothing to stop an innovative boertjie from reverse engineering the thing hey?
I have to say though that when I have tried to be clever and get something engineered myself I have ended up paying more for the item than what it would have cost me just to buy straight from a supplier. In this case I don't think the cost is too bad - it's just the @#$@ shipping cost to SA that gets you!

Another one - on a Challenger nogal. Looks like a nice and simple mounting.

I also thought it was neat and simple, and yes anything can be engineered or reverse engineered but as Cloud Warrior mentioned it sometimes work out more expensive not mentioning the time taken to reverse engineer something sometimes. Thats why one weighs it up, comparing the price to a self engineered item.
Thanks for the other pics Sebastian, they all help.
