muffler hanger

[Randy R.]

I ordered a kit to rebuild the rear exhaust hangers on my 67. The belting is too thin and the rivets are too short.
Where can I find an accurate reproduction hanger or a better rebuild kit? I think I can find some belting locally if neccessary but have no source for the rivets.

Any ideas?

I purchased some reproduction hangers of the 68-72 style from Dr. Rebuild within the last few years (even though I have enough NOS pieces to last me for the next 50 years, or so). I found them to be virtually identical to the NOS. I haven't compared their 64-67 hangers to NOS originals, but if they're anything like the 68-72 you won't be disappointed.

By the way, Dr. Rebuild also offers hangers with stainless steel components for 64-67. If they were so-available for 68-72, I would have ordered them in a flash. I hate rust.
