63 Center Hanger Bracket Straps

[Thomas S.]

I have a original 2-1/2" exhaust with center support bracket that needs to have the straps replaced. The straps are basically gone so I don't know how long they should be. I also have a fully intact NOS 2" center support bracket with straps. The question is whether there was only one length strap used for both 2" and 2-1/2" systems as well as whether the centerline of the rivets was also the same.

The AIM only shows a single set of p/n's for the bracket and hardware, which is interesting because the actual support bracket itself would be different.

Tom, I an pretty sure that one of the corvette vendors makes a repair kit for the center hanger.

I believe they are both the same.

Just sand blasted my 63, 340 HP, 2 1/2" hanger. Rubber straps are 3 1/4" long. Would be interested if the 2" ones are the same length.
