Me Again, i'm afraid !!!

Been looking to change back to my standard backbox

I was having a scan at backbox bracket (the one with exhaust rubber built into it and held onto car with two bolts).

The exh rubber in bracket is totally shagged

Anyone ideas how much one is from Renault ?

Or am i cheaper mail oredering one from K Tec or something ? ?

you can use cable ties as a cheap fix, to hold the rubber up. Or around £15 from renault.

They are a pain in the arse to remove though, best trying the cable ties first.

EASY EASY job to change them, and mine was £21 from dealer. Takes about 15mins to do, the exhaust sits much better and lost a tiny rattle I had before. Why bodge when you can do a proper fix for £21 and 15mins???

Agree with the above

You can also file out the slots on those brackets as well if you need more forward/back movement to clear exhaust hangars

File a slot where ?

In metal housing in bracket just enough to slide exhaust bracket into the rubber ?

If you are unlucky like me, one of the hank bushes will spin, turning your easy job into a much harder one.

The Renault bracket has slots in so you can move/adjust it forward & backwards....you'll see what I mean when you get one.

I fitted an aftermarket exhaust and it just touched the hangar so I used a round file to make the slots longer therefore offering more adjustment.

Been spot on ever since...not a single knock
