Kevin (Mr T) Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 This is hardly technical, so I've popped it here. This...... .......is the rubber mount that supports my side pipe. I want to take it off, so that my vinyl wrap is underneath it, rather than cut around. I can't work out how to get it off. Is there a knack to it? Any advice would (as usual) be appreciated. Kevin.

Andrew Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 There'll be a nut on the inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo,s 7SE Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 when you replace it a good long lasting solution to the problem of them snapping is to replace it with a mk1 fiesta g box mount there a big square mount and will last the life of the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanI Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 On mine there is a flap of carpet which hides a hole in the trim panel. Lift the flap, look inside and there is the inner fastener. I've just replaced mine. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrie Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 It looks like a soft M6 exhaust bobbin. My exhaust and fuel pump are hung on them. There's a thread sticking out the other side, and as my chassis has M8 or M10 nuts welded into it, look for a (unwelded) M6 nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin (Mr T) Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 There's not a hole in the inner trim panel, but I guess i could cut one to see what's there. That's a job for Saturday. Watch this space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6carjon Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I know its stating the obvious but they are symmetrical. What you see on the outside is exactly what you are looking for inside. Good luck.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TableLeg Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Only one other thing to consider is that these bobbins can also have a male/female thread arrangement therefore you could have a female thread on the inside with a bolt holding it on as opposed to a stud with a nut. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
