Cristal, Jim, what do you think of using silver solder to fix the crack. Lower temperature, less stress. I haven't used it in this application, but it seems reasonable. Brazing would be another option.Cristal, when doing the fix, make sure the system isn't bound up in some way so that it has to be forced into position to get everything hooked up. Make sure to use anti-sieze compound on the ball joints so these are free to move as the system expands and contracts. Replace the rubber dampers and use them on both sides of the muffler attachment brackets.
I use the mounts you asked about on my 582, but has the three piece exhaust system, hence more alignment options.

Rick;
I would never use silver solder on that type of repair, unless I was 40,000 miles from no where and that was all I had. No again on brazing.
If a plate was welded up the way I suggested it will last a very long time.
I do agree with you on making sure that there is no stress points from misalignment of bolts and etc.

There are different grades of silver solder. If the right one is used it is as good as a weld. Brazing has low strength and prone to cracking easily under flex.
There is a big difference between the two.
BB, lots of experience fabricating hi-vac ultra thin wall stainless lab equipment with it.
The stuff I used cost big bucks and had to be bought from a specialty manufacturer.
