Looks good whats the part number and supplier for the bobbins, existing rubber bobbins just dont last...they have 5/16 threads and al components are mild stell and rust very quickly.
The 2 metal support brackets are available in stainless steel from librands
Where possible I fit stainless nuts bolts and washers on all exhaust components.
Are the U bolts / Exhaust clamps stainless and the nuts? All the underbody components really do get corrosion easily...

Bobbins part number GEX 7251 eBay Exhaust U clamps are not stainless, only the washers, but maybe next time I’ll change them all to stainless. I did clean it all with ACF50 before refitting

My exhaust bobbins were starting to look a little grubby. So I decided to repaint the brackets with a primer coat, and a anti corrosion mat black top coat. I chose a slightly different colour for the bobbins though  ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/05/13/C7C02E1C-365D-45D5-A379-B5A25D0ABFC6.jpg) Totally impressive attention to detail
