I believe your asking the same question this thread answers

Thanks for the reply. I saw that post along with many others and it seems like they at least get the driver side bracket. So I went and looked again
and this is what I found. It has changed a bit since the other pics were taken. I understand the pass bracket. The drivers bracket is for the brake hose.
It has been 15 years so I've forgot most everything by now. I'll have to dig out the old rubber mounts and see what I can piece together.



Either or both of these driver side holes for a mount and what should it look like.

In this photo on the far right is a plate with 4-studs that the drivers side bracket mount to.(see next post)
The two sets of holes closer in on either side of the tunnel are for course thread bolts to secure the back seat. http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=95200.msg935636#msg935636




In this photo the arrow on the left points to the holes the passenger side hanger bolts to. Install two J-juts... item on right is where brake line bracket bolts. 




J-nuts avail many places, I picked some up at Tractor Supply

that drivers side should have 4-studs for nuts...realized this reviewing my own resto work..
   ( I'm not using stock hangers but you can see the nuts holding the bracket)






Here you can see the studs, I suspect yours were broken off & burred under undercoat

You can buy the correct bracket on Ebay.

OK. Thanks for the pics. I thought there was a backup bracket inside the car.

I did see the bracket on ebay and elsewhere. Thanks.

I removed my exhaust system today. There is no studs at the driver side. Are the studs through the sheet metal and then welded? Will I see evidence of it at one time if I pull the rear seat? The passenger side has the same mounting point like the picture. My car is a 73 Rallye with factory dual exhaust. It had a replacement exhaust put in at one time and was not using the factory support points. I will be replacing with a TTI system down the line.

plate mounts inside with 4-studs protruding to underside.   R/T specialties sells both pieces together it appears

Bullitt's picture shows the bracket that bolts to the DRIVER'S side. (one plate inside with studs, one plate outside with nuts) There is a similar looking plate that welds onto the floor on the PASSENGER side. This was standard on all 1970-71, possibly 72's. By 1973, 1974, they did not have the passenger side one welded to the floor, they used a loop type mount bolted to the shock cross member

To mount your TTI system you'll need both floor brackets.

Will the brackets come with template for drilling? Anyone has dimensions?

[badasscuda]

So I looked for my exhaust mounts and look what I found. The correct driver side dual exhaust mount.
Mounts in the two holes I previously pointed out. Soaking in rust remover right now. Tomorrow I will
see if I can find some part numbers.

Not sure if they come with a template for drilling or welding, but Accurate has the driver side (bolt on).  I think there are dimples on the floor for the drivers side.

Goodmark has the passenger side (weld on)...good price too!

There should be dimples.  I recently added the driver side bolt on bracket to my car w/ original sheet metal.  Not sure if the aftermarket panels have the dimples.

Found the rest of the brackets today. Good thing I didn't drill holes in my floors.



And here is the underneath of an original '74 for reference.
