Question RH exhaust bracket breaks...fix?

Hi Fellow SPF owners. My #1052 with a 460 keeps breaking the RH bracket that supports the side muffler. I've changed the hanger bracket, thinking a new one would have a softer rubber insert, I've re-welded it with a round steel support piece inder the break, and now, for the 4th break, I decided to let the pipe hang and weld the bracket in place as it hangs, so there's no pre-loading effect on the bracket. It was about .5" off as far as lining up with the hanger.

I've set the idle from the normal 750 RPM to 900 or 1000 so the loping idle isn't too severe.

Has anyone come up with a more permanent fix for this problem? Maybe stiffer or solid engine mounts?

Thanks IA
Ray
