Oh, I see what you mean.  I like that! My car is going back to Morgan today to have some improvement to the bracketry, I’m really hoping they don’t just cobble about with the existing bad design. E.g ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2021/10/11/4ABAF14D-4B66-49F2-BD30-45FE396FE8D4.jpg) Comments on a postcard

Obie's brackets are great esp with a heavier exhaust system (we have the G56 one)...and save the regular re-riveting of the side panels required before we fitted them....

The saga may be over? My car has just arrived back from MMC with its 4th Brooklands exhaust. The sequence went like this - 👉Original exhaust cans cracked at about 2500 miles. 👉A new system with the three point support was purchased by me and fitted by MMC. The new brackets were shockingly bad (see previous post) and MMC tinkered with them but didn’t replace them. 👉The new system cans then cracked after just 300miles 👉MMC took the car back and fitted proper brackets with a loan exhaust while they completely re-engineered the silencer assembly over three months. 👉The car now has the “all new” system fitted. It looks like the original but has the three point support for the can and I am told is totally re-engineered internally with better quality materials. Time will tell, but I am pleased that Mark and his team finally bit the bullet and took the past failings seriously enough to start from scratch to produce a nice looking exhaust with a great sound.

Good result IMHO, I trust that's the end of the problems and you can now enjoy the MOG....

Can you post a photo of this latest generation of mount?

It’s the same 3 point mounting (“upgrade”) as shown in the parts book, sorry but I’m rubbish at posting photos on here, i’ll give it a go when I get a chance.

I spoke way too soon. The new brackets are awful, the can vibrates against the body and the heat shield, the bobbins are not supported properly and the header nuts have to be slackened off to push the bobbin studs into their respective bracket slots (the exhaust tube clamps are hard up against their shoulders). It’s going back to Morgan for the fifth time, that is when they can fit me on a back load as it’s “uneconomical to specially come to pick up my car” (their words).

The exhaust brackets on a Pembleton are a half round support on which the pipe rests, just in front of the silencer, with an expansion spring over the top (just like racing cars of old) this spring allows for engine movement and for pipes to expand & contract lengthwise.
These have proved trouble free on my car over 15,000 miles.
Might be worth copying?

Hi Chris. That's true, I do remember being faced with that question by Nick Baker, but I don't remember how much it was we had to pay for the privilege of picking a number.
It's a funny thing because my first pick was #50 (my age at the time), my second pick was #27 (Villeneuve fan) and since neither was available I didn't care for it. However I do remember Nick saying most interesting numbers were already taken and that included all the first 10, the #20, #30, #40 and #50, and also the #11, #22, #33 and #44.
So I didn't care, only to later be surprised by delivery of the … #33 car. LOL I came across this by chance on YT ... https://youtu.be/OvQmu_nHopkThe owner of Number 1 at the 11 minute mark. Owned by Dennis Glavis of MOG West

Hey guys and gals here I come as newbie owner of #6 M3W Brooklands. Since I bought it at auction with only 628 original miles, NOTHING had been attended to as far as the exhaust issues. I _KNEW_ after reading about all the "fun" you folks have had getting things properly squared away.
I was going to take it out for a longer run about with the wifey on Friday. On Thursday I had a check engine light show up, and after getting setup to read the codes from the ECU, P0170 & P0173 I expected they were an indication of impending doom. NOW I know that was the first indication of the weld on the right exhaust cracking. Got my AAA tow truck out in less than 30 minutes. The driver had to wait for me to run down someone willing and competent enough to handle the repairs. As it was it came home to my garage, and I have an appointment with a specialist who can handle the work who is 2.3 miles from me! Wait time to get into the shop is over a month so I ordered the Renault 25 exhaust bobbin that Phil Bleazey recommends and they will be here well in time for the fix. I'm getting the best parts of all the threads on the forum printed up for the technician and dropping it off ahead of time so he can hopefully get me all squared away without all the repeats fixes some of you folks have had to endure.
I'll post my pics once I figure that part of this forum out
