... on my '97 S-3. Why else would it squeak at idle?
Upon closer examination, the Z-bracket is cracked, again!
A. Does anyone have a source for this (no-part-number) piece, or an extra to part with?
B. When I looked at the Mounting update Bulletin again, it says "not for pre-'99 S-3's". If not that, how does it hang? My Z-bracket fit, and worked for a while.
C. What's the part number for the rubber inserts in the holes cast into the underside of the engine?

Weird!
My Z-bracket is the ONLY part of my X1 not to fail.

LaFayette,
My point exactly. The Y-Bracket and Z fit perfectly, and have done well, much better than the original. I had a really good welder reinforce the collector wye, eliminating the tab, so it looks clean.

James, thanks for the numbers. Now I'll see if they work!
