Those exhaust brackets are for 2.1 waterboxer engines.
won't normally   fit on a 1.9 .......which is what an 84 has.

I haven't seen it done, but I suppose someone could put a 2.1 'rear aluminum
mount/exhaust bracket' on a 1.9 waterboxer engine.
I haven't tired that yet.
You could have a 2.1 wbxr entire exhaust system on a 1.9 ...........it'll
fit just fine,
if that's the case......these brackets could be right for you.
a 2.1 uses 2 of those brackets of course.
and the diameter of a  1.9 muffler is smaller than the diameter of a 2.1
muffler.....
a factor that may matter.
