Title: Exhaust Hangers
Post by: bobsz on May 13, 2022, 09:31:20 AM
Im in the process of rebuilding a TRX from parts I've had for a few years and somewhat new to the R world.  When I got to the point of installing the exhaust I learned I did not have the hangers or mounts.  Which ever you want to call them.   What options are out there?  I cant seem to find many options.  Are there any from different make/models that would work?

i thought he pulled those because they didnt hold up?  I may have missed an update.  Also I checked TLR online (thats Puma webstore, right?) all his exhaust mounts are out of stock

I actually reached out to him and he is no longer making them.   I was told he lost use of his right hand and cannot assemble them anymore.  I will keep checking EBay.  Thanks for the replies.

I wonder if these hangers would work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/325170243494?epid=1038616480&hash=item4bb5a827a6:g:QfwAAOSwXUpibXAr

I am tempted to be the guinea pig on those.  They look very similar to the ATC/TRX ones.

Is NPM no longer making them?
I have sent them an email and have not heard back from them.  Only one I can find selling new ones is BDT.

Hit up this guy, Ian Kubik on Facebook. He’s local to me in AZ. I just orders a rear hanger and it will be here today.

I personally would use speaker wire before I bought anything from bdt, but to each their own...

I don't do the Facebook thing.  But I have a family member going to look into it for me.   Thanks.

I've never dealt with them personally other than an unanswered email.  But why do you think I posted the question here and not on .NET.  Don't need him or his lackeys trying to force them down my throat.  ;D

I got mine as well. It looks nice. I only needed the rear one.

I think I've come up with a solution to rebuild worn out oem hangers that anyone can do themselves for relatively cheap. I haven't tried it out yet & unsure of the hardness of material to go with but was thinking about trying around 40 shore hardness for an initial test. I saw a youtube video about making your own polyeurathane engine mounts & believe the same method can work for fixing our worn out hangers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_0BYvTkZ0o
This is what the guy in the video used but I think 60 shore hardness might be too stiff. The company makes the liquid polyeurathane kits in trial sizes which looks to be enough to do maybe 3 sets of mounts: https://www.smooth-on.com/products/reoflex-40/ They also make dye's so you can do different colored mounts.

Keep us in the know on that for sure.

Thanks for all the info guys.  I actually purchased an OEM one from Action69.  Like I said previously I'm not on Facebook so I'm unable to reach out about those shown.

Just got my mounts from Sonny! It’s no surprise, but they’re very nice parts.
