In fact, there is a photo of that arrangement that shows a bracket that is hose-clamped to the exhaust hose. Is this bracket available as a stock part anywhere, or did you have it fabricated for BEOWULF? Thanks and best regards, Scott S <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p class=\"Body\">Hi Scott: The exhaust fittings to which you refer are custom made. However, there are lots of ways to do this. You can use eye straps (with soft edges) and tie the exhaust hose through the eyes with light line (we&#8217;ve used 3\/16&#8243; polyester in the past). This will accomplish the same thing&#8212;isolate noise and vibration&#8212;and the line is often kinder to the hose than hose clamps. You will be amazed at the difference in noise if you can totally isolate the exhaust line!
