Side pipe mount bushings

[cpd427]

Forum member, I'm hoping you can help. I did a search but couldn't find what I was looking for. My 1986 Unique uses square rubber bushings where the pipes attach to the frame. I am planning on applying gasket material to the inteface between the pipes and the headers anyway and thought it would be a good idea to change out these bushings at that time. My question is where can I get the proper bushings for my Unique? Thanks, Chris

mkassab, looks as if I didn't search very well. Thanks for the response. I'll pore over this and hopefully find my answer. Chris

I was wondering what kinds of protective covers have any of you used on your side pipes to help prevent passengers or "lookers" burning their legs on hot side pipes? I even had one little guy of about 3 step on them with his bare feet before I could stop him.

Arrowdriver;
I bought a "Black Velvet" welding blanket from Summit. I plan to cut it to mount under the seats on both sides and roll out to cover the pipes when entering or exiting the car. It matches the carpet perfectly and rolls up and stores in the fold next to the seat. It won't cover the bend where the pipes exit the body but anyone who touches that deserves to get bitten!
