I am looking at restoring the exhaust hangers that go in the bumper ends of my 57 Roadmaster. The steel is in great shape after a quick blast. I already drilled out the big rivets which I'll just replace with nuts & bolts I think. The reinforced rubber is all I need now. I've looked around some trying to find a source. Most places that have it want to sell you 5 feet off a roll. I really only need about a square foot to do both. Any ideas where I could get what I need.

What I use is scrapped stone or sand quarry conveyer belting. The stuff is about 1/2" thick and runs anywhere from 3 to 5 feet wide. Most quarries usally have tons of it laying somewhere. I also use the stuff on the concrete floor in front of my benches to ease my feet. You could also use truck tire side wall.......Bob

Have you looked at universal exhust pipe hangers Or exhust pipe bender places??? Just a thought.

That's what I did for the exhaust on my Riviera. I bought some generic hangers at my corner auto parts store and just used the rubber strips, threw the metal bits in the bin.

I stock a narrower width roll of reinforced rubber in my restoration shop. How much width and length do you need?

So I went ahead and used the sidewall from an old tire. Not exactly NOS, but I am sure they will work just fine. I actually have a NOS set of hangers. My car is never going to be a 100 pointer, so I am going to just use my restored hangers. I'm going to make someone who needs NOS perfect happy. And hopefully a few bucks for me so I can buy other parts. The NOS set is up on ebay.
