nater006 Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 (edited) One of the mounting brackets for my T5 pipes is coming apart. The little rubber damper in the middle of the two triangle-like bracket pieces is tearing. Is there a good repair for these at all, or is it basically just buy new brackets? Didn't see them readily for sale on their site, so perhaps it is something available elsewhere... and maybe with a better design. Any info/brands/links/etc are appreciated.. thanks!

You mean the pipe hanger?? Yeah there are better designs out there, like mine for example. I put 2 springs in the middle to give dampening qualities and flexibility, and you'll never have to replace anything, and they won't tear or fall apart in the middle of nowhere. Quote
nater006 Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Posted July 13, 2004 Wooot.. you know, after you mention that... i heard that somewhere before which was one of the reasons I asked you to send me the list via e-mail Brain fart.. Quote
bigboybanshee Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 You oughtta get a set of Stan's hangers....They are SO much better than the stock crap!! Mount well with T-5's, I have pics at home if you want to see what they look like. Quote
nater006 Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Posted July 13, 2004 Sounds like the decision is made for me to get a set, but would still love to see what they are.. something to drool over while waiting for their arrival Quote
bigboybanshee Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 I'm at work now, but when I get home I'll post a couple pics to wet your appetite They are well worth the money!!! Quote
J-Madd Posted July 17, 2004 Report Posted July 17, 2004 (edited) Happens all the time. after it breaks in two, you can overlap the pieces of rubber and screw a new screw through the rubber and all just above (or below) where it cracked. It'll hold for a long time or at least until you get new ones Edited July 17, 2004 by J-Madd Quote
racer Posted July 17, 2004 Report Posted July 17, 2004 if youre on a tight budget find some scrap steel, bust out the mig, an givver hell! then grind it so it looks OK, and after a coat of flat back, itll only look half jerry-rigged Quote
nater006 Posted July 17, 2004 Author Report Posted July 17, 2004 Thanks.. I already got a set of those spiffy spring-loaded ones on order from CEJ. Everyone says that they're the shiz.. so.. can't wait Quote
