Then using some of the 4mm aluminium from the road sign I made the hanger bracket itself

I think the finished product looks too wide so I shall probably reduce it in width by about 10 - 12 mm although now it is bent I will not be able to use a jigsaw easily and I do not fancy filing 12mm. One day when it is raining outside and I am feeling energetic???
It does tend to dominate the rear quarter somewhat, I think would look better thinner. Another way I've seen that type of exhaust supported before is using 1 or 2 bolts from the rearsets using thin strip(s) of metal.
