Missing some braces from my exhaust system
I was just going through a vendors pictures for a 63 exhaust system.
My car never came with 38A&B +38C&D and possibly 42?
Does anyone have a picture of the underside of their vehicle showing these parts?

All mid years with under car exhaust got those parts. That part is were the pipes were joined together and clamped to the hanger that is bolted to the trans cross member

63's used the hanger shown here in the middle, 2" size for 2" exhausts, 2.5" size for 2.5" exhausts.
They have the conveyor belt strapping hangers in the middle.
Refer to the pics.

The #42 item, I believe, is a spacer IF the car had side exhausts.
It goes between the trans and the rear mount, raising the trans XX amount IF the under car batwing bracket isn't there.

My 69 is a factory side exhaust car, and it does have that spacer.
IIRC, the spacer is about 1.25" wide, 5" long and ??? thick, maybe 3/16".
Supposedly it was to compensate for the change in the engine/trans/driveline angle if the under-car hanger wasn't used. The hanger raised the tail of the trans by XXX amount, and the spacer was supposed to compensate for that on a side exhaust car.
I think it's splitting hairs.
