is there a way of stopping me exhaust knocking on the axle it didnt do it when it was first fitted. is this a mount problem or is it beacuse its an not got the box bit just before the rear axle. it does have a mount there though. are they any of mounts i can use to hold it up.

also to fit 16v front brakes on a 1.4 19 presumably i need 16v hubs or a spacer braket made up to move the caliper out wards

my exhaust knocks too Sad

only remedy i have found is to undo the clamp that holds it together over the axle, then do it up again whilst shoving the exhaust up with your foot. Works its way back down over time though.

You should have 4 mounts in total, 2 on the back box and 1 either side of the middle section at the back.

16V brakes fit straight onto any 19 hubs, just need the calipers and carriers and the discs, no spacers or anything.

nope, same. You do need a particular type though, so take one off to show them.
