Hi all,

Does anyone know what the internal diameters are of the mid and rear exhaust hangers for the 1.4, and know if there are any decent ones out there that will last?
The ones I've been getting tend to dry up and crack to quickly, only last about 12 months if lucky, or is that about the norm for this type of hanger. Has anyone used another type to hang the exhaust or made another type of system for hanging the exhaust?

Regards,
Morg...

I bought a rear exhaust hanger from Demon Tweeks that was a good match for the rear on the 1.4, still sat in my glove box though as I never got round to fitting it!

I think it is the EXH 002 on this page:

Never had any problem with the original Volvo ones, but they were allowed to use more nasty chemicals in those days.

I've got poly ones but they are orange

Dai, how do poly ones hold up to the heat and stretching? Are they far better then the rubber type and should they last a few years?
Not bothered about colour as not seen unless under the car, wife's car anyway so I don't care as i'm only the sap who has to fix it, just want something that will last a good while. You got a price for 4 with postage to sunny Wirral . Will let you know when I find out what the mrs wants to do as I may also be ordering some suspension bushes.

@Alex, I have seen those type but they were smaller in diameter then original so never tried them as thought it may be overstretching them.

@Ride-on, new rubber hangers are rubbish in comparison to old, as you say because of the nasty old chemicals used in older ones which are not used today. Still wish I could get the old makes now as I don't remember having to change hangers as much years ago as I do now.

I've never broken one yet. Going off 120 wishbone bushes that are super close to the exhaust heat is not a problem.

The hangers are £3 each iirc
