I was warned a long time ago on this list to make sure everything was intact
as far as brackets etc. go on the exhaust system.  Only one I had missing
was that stubby little round solid steel bracket with a hole in each end  on
the 3/4 side.  Dealer price was a horrendous $25, but much cheaper than a
replacement  for a cracked crossover pipe, doncha think?
