Thanks Ken good to know I've made the bracket. I should've looked closer at the Bentley image of the diesel exhaust but since I'm making a custom exhaust, and could put the bracket at muffler "anywhere" I wanted, there was no need to bend the bracket; it's a "straight shot" from oil pan to bracket on muffler. More a point of curiosity than anything but it would be helpful to know if I'll need to brace this part further. Neil.
