Well I don't drive it.....garage queen. In all seriousness I hope to be getting it dirty in a few weeks, three years off the road for restoration is a long time.
Wait... I did find them on RN web site, but you have to manually search for them.
Then when you do find them, and put the three hangers in the cart, and the three bits of rubber to go with those hangers, the cart is ready to charge over $350! And that is after you do your homework and eliminate the extra bits they try to say you need when you make the order.
So then I looked in their parts guide book. In the book they have a full diagram and all of the alternative parts lined up so that you can see the Proline vs. Genuine right next to one another.
So the one you can find on the web site through a difficult search always pops up as the most expensive, and it may not even be the one needed, since there are several versions based on the VIN of your vehicle....

If you are not going for a factory restoration just stop by a muffler shop and grab a few. They should be pretty cheap.
Are they going to be the right angles and such? I have it strapped into place right now, and there really isn't a lot of room for any variation in the mounting points.
But I am leaning toward just getting a friend to weld them up for me.
I'll take your advice and check out the options locally. Thanks.

I have a bunch of hangers from an old NRP removed from a Classic. Just the metal bits no rubbers. Not sure how or if they'll work for you but PM me if interested.
I can't make sense of which brackets I need, other than the rear. None of the others look like they would fit. It is an original 300Tdi exhaust.

I don't have the mounting tab on my frame like you show in photo #3. And the arms coming off the exhaust don't match up with anything like that.
The center mount looks simple enough, but I don't think YRM has one that fits this spot, and I don't know what part number that would be to buy from another place.
The rear mount will work. YRM has that one.

The hangers are the original ones from my 300tdi chassis, I just had them galvanized. The mounting points on the chassis may look slightly different than on the original stock chassis (this chassis is a Marsland ) but they bolted right back on no problem. What year is your chassis?
It is a 1988. I have no tab coming off the frame near the transfer case.
The one that sits further back looks like it is in the same spot yours is in, but YRM does not seem to have one that fits that spot.
I'm going to order the rear bracket, and the radiator brackets I know I need from them, but I think I may have to have the other two made. I'll dig through what Shipman has first, but having it made shouldn't be much of an issue. Would like to have it nice though, and galvanized!
