Default 68 exhaust/muffler hanger???

Have a 68 conv. The muffler/exh. hanger that holds the front of the muffler up broke off. It wraps around the u-clamp and has an L bracket that bolts under the car in front of the gas tank. It looks like an original part but i cannot find it anywhere. Does anyone have any idea where to buy this or if they make something to replace it with.??? Forgot to mention that i have dynomax mufflers and an aftermarket exhaust w/ hooker headers........

The only bracket (that I know of) is located at the rear of the
muffler.

I know what you're saying and I don't think they are original, but in some cases are necessary....I put DynoMax on my car, and even tho they said they were a dead match for the original.....the rear outputs were wrong...centered not offset...or offset not centered, don't remember, but wrong none the less...
Well, I made them work, but the input sides sag, no matter how I connect them, or tighten them, so a hanger will be necessary, and I plan on using just universal hangers from Advanced Auto...how I will do it...dunno....summer project....hope this helps...good luck
