rubber straps for 72 - 74 exhuast brackets
« on: July 01, 2015 - 01:53:21 PM »
Does anyone know where I could find the rubber straps that fit on the exhaust brackets that hold up the resonators right in front of the rear shock top mounting posts?

This is for the original brackets for 340/360 dual exhaust systems on 72-74 Challengers I believe.  They are original on my 73 at least.

Accurate Exhaust sells brand new brackets.  They aren't 100% correct but they work.  When was your car built?  I thought 73's just used those on the PS. 74's used those brackets on both sides.  Maybe it was a mid year change?

Here is the Accurate hanger next to my original one.

Thanks burdar for responding.  My car's DOB is 7-73.  Also, the DS is slightly different... note the holding bar actually uses just 1 bolt and hooks in the hole.

July 73 is very late.  Yours is probably very close to the end of 73 production.  It looks like the factory started using those brackets on late 73's.
