Brief Description:  Broken Exhaust bracket

The original idea behind my exhaust included a really nice CNC milled exhaust bracket. Well, that fell through and never got made :( So I had my current airport A&P make me a "get by" bracket using 1 SS clamp and some Safety wire. The Surprizing thing to me is that the safety wire outlasted the clamp! However, the clamp was bent way past 120 degrees to achieve the right fit and that introduced a lot of stressers at that location. The really good news here was that even though this happened during my flight last night, the pipe never contacted the cowling or engine so no damage was done. Thank God! I went ahead with an idea I had before, that I didn't think would work and it is working extremely well. 1 hr, test flight and sever wild throttle maneuvers later and they are rock solid. Not the prettiest setp, but this will work until I am able to have a really nice set of 3 into 1 pipes made for me.
