Are all, without exception, a bunch of useless bastards.
My local motor factor closed down last year, so I don't have anywhere I can just pop out to anymore.
I need 4 x rubber 'doughnut' type exhaust hangers.
All 3 local places (Halfrauds, ChavWorld and an indie. shop) only have them 'to special order'.
Surely something so basic and universal should be a stock item, ffs!
Only if it comes with blue neons attached.
Tried your local KackFit or similar?
Not really as most of that tyupe don't sell exhausts. Personally the first port of call for me would've been a Tyre and Exhaust spot.
I need to order a full set of HT leads for the 75 anyway - which definitely means ordering online - so I'll get a set of OEM hangers at the same time.
Bloody annoys me that I have to order 12p parts on the net, though.
You say that, but they stock exhaust paste, bandages, clamps and those straps to hang drainpipes from ...... as well as selling said drainpipes.
You're probably right, but, see my post to Timo.
I found a couple in the garage that will do for now.
Once upon a time, coat hangers were wire and doubled up nicely as emergency exhaust rubbers.
12p and £4.99 P&P.
In the old days I always carried a length of galvanised fencing wire in the boot. Apart from tying up exhausts, on one occasion it was used to replace a burnt out CB lead, and on another to make a hand throttle when the accelerator cable broke on my Morris Minor. Mike.
Halfords certainly used to sell them - I've got a couple of spares still in their card.
If you've got a decent branch of Kwik-Fit locally they'll probably give you them. ;-)
Maybe as you sound such a pleasent level headed guy they'll do you a favour?
That's just them sent with a stamp attached to the item. For recorded, it mysteriously jumps up to £12.99 postage for a 1 inch-squared item.
Is the risk of Hepatitis C too great to dare try that?
