I have been trying to get a 44mm exhaust bracket for the last couple of days, and no luck whatsoever.
Fiat original too big for the new aftermarket pipe, and none of the local companies who do exhausts stock anything. Tried 3 local motor factors and no luck
So....a bit of B&Q 2mm mild steel strip, and a lot of swearing later.... I made one!

Just need to drill and file out a 6mm clearance slot.....but that can be done tomorrow now.

Not even for my car =))

Finished it this morning by adding the slots for the M8 bolt ( not 6mm as I first thought) , deburred, plus a coat of High Temp engine paint.
Good enough for a Fiat !!!! =))
