    if you look at the blue arrow you can see that the bracket some how is connected to something (lol) but i dont know what it is. i was wondering if someone could tell me what this is, what you think it is most proberly made from and also where i could get a new one of these or anyway i could fix it. the red arrow is where is has snaped

    thanks for your time

    it's connected to your engine case. if the case it's self is damaged then you are best off getting it welded by an alloy welder, the bracket for the exhaust needs to be replaced too because of the broken bit, it looks as if just 1 bolt has been holding it for a while, this is why the bottom mounting has been damaged.

    the actual exhaust bracket it aluminium
    the engine casing is an alloy of some sort, not sure if the bottom hole is damaged, if it is, try a longer bolt with a nut on the back.
