Dan -

A buddy suggested the following for supporting the exhaust system at the back 
end.  I ran the idea past Orin and he liked it, too.  The basic concept is to 
use a rubber exhaust hanger from a car.  These have holes in them -- one at 
each end.  One end can get bolted to an Adel clamp attached to the engine 
mount.  The other end gets attached to the exhaust pipe somehow -- possibly 
to the clamp which holds the exhaust extensions to the headers.  You do need 
to support the exhaust extensions or they are guaranteed to crack somewhere, 
but I think you already know this.  You also have no place to attach it 
except to non-moving structure (firewall or engine mount) so you need a lot 
of compliance in the attachment mechanism.

I can't give you any more details, because I haven't gone to the auto parts 
store and rummaged around.  The ones I used on my 1979 Triumph Spitfire would 
be perfect (these were sized and shaped like thick dominoes with a hole at 
each end) but I wouldn't recommend trying to find Triumph parts -- that was 
hard enough in 1986!
