Well, I found the cobbled together (from previous owner) front exhaust mount was attached to the outside of a motor mount on the frame, not the proper damper mount point, hence my belief it needed a 90 degree adapter of some sort. I will order the proper damper mounts and try to get the pipe properly hung. Also, I found the top mount was broken so off to a welder I go. I plan to make the bracket out of 1/2 inch square stock as described in the archives, unless someone suggests otherwise. I was not able to find any pics, but think it should be straightforward. Thanks again to those who have responded.
