Benz.. They're the right size and rubber composition for your system.
Generic donuts or road-side salvages will have your muffler swinging
about worse than a hot day's scrotum [pardon my turn-of-phrase].

It's the evening of Christmas Eve here in the colonies.
I hope you guys (and gals) have a very relaxing Christmas with your
families.
And thanks for all the fine advice received during the year.
Look forward to communicating with you in 2007.
Regards

Sorry to re-ignite this debate...
A thoughtful Benzer posted photographs recently of the two rack damper
bolts (grey and bronze) which were the centre of so much discussion.
Could someone to e-mail me a copy please, and/or a photo of the pump
with the bolt installed?
Thanks
Euan
e (18
years of owning this glorious wagon), the header pipe has never been
detached. Could the washers malfunction anyway? Or maybe, just maybe,
one of those dawky pimpled butchers employed habitually by exhaust-fix
franchises pulled things apart on a previous fix?
Cheers
