Darren69 you are absolutely right. I will see what it looks like thinner first. The other concern I have is that as it is it is not a "fail safe" bracket; if the vibration mount breaks (not unknown) then the exhaust can is only held on by two springs.
Mounting off the rear set is possible, there are two holes to hold the rear brake master cylinder but it will be difficult to get the alignment for the brake master cylinder push rod. I would not want the exhaust hanger bracket to be outboard of the visible machined face of rear set.
This is precisely why I want to dry build it before brazing lugs onto the frame and before painting it.
