Gas tank brackets the exit part of the exhaust?
Ya lost me there, call me slow.
If you use larger screws or nuts and bolts you can put the exhaust back together in about 5 minutes. Use some loctite.

sorry bout that, the end part fell out, took me awhile to figure that 1 "loctite" was the answer. the question was the gas tank brackets, are they sold seperatly? lost 1 bracket on a ride need a replacement. thanks again for the reply and sorry for the "island english".

No prob, my head may have been in the clouds as well....you can probably make a bracket if you can get your hands on some A/C duct hanger or even drill a hole in a strap of metal and trim the edges with a file.
A piece of automotive muffler hanger? I don't know if you can buy them seperately...

You can make a gas tank bracket out of almost any small piece of metal lying around, or at Home Depot. Look in the electrical dept. for conduit straps...
Muffler baffle falling out. Me also.. I used a small bolt, lock washer, and locktite on it. THEN...I drilled two other holes and wrapped several loops of solid copper wire, (not stranded wire) through the holes, twisted the ends together and put JB Weld on the loops. It will never fall out again.
