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.
