Default SLP muffler install

I am installing a set of SLP Power-Flo mufflers (pn 31070) on my 86. The install is basically completed, but I can't get the factory muffler hangers to work here. Anyone know what muffler hanger I should be using here?

I think you have the same type hanger as the Borlas. It is just a metal L shaped bracket, that slides into the rubber pieces where the stock bracket used to be.
How it tightens I have no idea. I still have yet to figure it out.

My pictures didn't come out right, so I need to make others. I applied a temporary solution by using a smaller bracket bolt in order to force the stock hangers to work for now, at least they will get me to a muffler shop. The muffler mounts are an upside down V welded to the top of the muffler, not the end as were the stockers. So the new SLP's hang at least an inch to an inch and a half lower than I think they should. I plan on have the local Midas (they have an older guy there who does amazing custom work so I hear) shop fabricate new mounting stips to raise them. Otherwise, I did get them on the car. Thanks for all the responses.
