I could use an affordable set of muffler brackets also.  My PO had the same
welded "solution" to the brackets and other exhaust connections.  What other
parts are needed beyond the "exhaust system components" sold by the list
vendors?   Maybe Roy O. or someone else would have some made for us all by his
local fabricator.  ???
